DYK that mRNA vaccine technology is being used to prevent cancer? You heard it here 👇.
I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47. My grandmother also died from it at 53. When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying. 🧵.
