    “It didn’t happen overnight.” For many patients, a “It didn’t happen overnight.”
For many patients, a diagnosis isn’t a single appointment or a clear answer.
It’s months, sometimes years, of not feeling right.
Of unanswered questions.
Of being told to wait, to watch, to try again.
Behind every diagnosis is time spent searching for clarity, advocating for answers, and pushing through uncertainty. That waiting takes a toll, not just physically, but emotionally.
Today, we honor those journeys.
The patience. The resilience. The strength it took to keep going until their experience was finally named and understood.
Because time matters.
And so does being heard.

Comment below: how long did it take for you to receive your diagnosis?

    Narcolepsy is more than just “feeling tired”—it’s Narcolepsy is more than just “feeling tired”—it’s a neurological condition that disrupts the brain’s ability to regulate sleep and wakefulness. People living with narcolepsy may experience excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks, sleep paralysis, vivid hallucinations, and in some cases cataplexy (a sudden loss of muscle control triggered by strong emotions).
While the exact cause isn’t always clear, narcolepsy is often linked to a deficiency of hypocretin (a brain chemical that helps control alertness), and may involve genetic and autoimmune factors. Certain risk factors—like family history or brain injury—can increase susceptibility, while triggers such as stress, lack of sleep, illness, or major life changes can worsen symptoms.
Understanding narcolepsy helps break stigma and encourages earlier diagnosis, better management, and stronger support for those affected. Awareness isn’t just knowledge—it’s empathy in action.

    Thank you Arelis for sharing your journey with ver Thank you Arelis for sharing your journey with vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG).

"I’m Arelis—most people call me Reli. I had VSG on June 23rd, 2020.
As a first-generation Dominican American, food has always been a big part of my culture and my life. By the time I got to college, I had tried just about everything to lose weight—gyms, bootcamps, pills, programs, even Dominican home remedies.
By 2018, I was around 275 pounds. I had been diagnosed with PCOS, experienced a few miscarriages, was dealing with chronic back pain, and had high cholesterol. That’s when I realized it was time to make a real change—for me.
Choosing weight loss surgery has truly changed my life—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I’ve maintained a 135-pound weight loss, which has helped me better manage my back pain and improve my cholesterol without needing medication.
More importantly, this journey has given me a completely new mindset, meaningful connections, and a version of myself I’m really proud of.
I didn’t just lose weight—I found myself."

Cancer control isn’t just about treatment—it’s about education, lifestyle choices, and access to screening. From routine exams to recognizing early warning signs, small actions can make a life-saving difference.
We must continue to advocate for our patients, encourage preventative care, and use diagnostic tools to detect disease early—when it’s most treatable.
Together, through knowledge, compassion, and vigilance, we can help reduce the impact of cancer in our communities. 🎗️

    Narcolepsy is often misunderstood, overlooked, or Narcolepsy is often misunderstood, overlooked, or dismissed, but knowing about it matters. Awareness helps people recognize symptoms earlier, seek proper care, and avoid years of misdiagnosis. It also reduces stigma for those navigating school, work, and daily life while managing an invisible condition. When we understand narcolepsy better, we create more empathy, better accommodations, and a stronger support system for those living with it. Awareness is not just knowledge. It is access, validation, and inclusion.
