Share Your Story Submissions

There are so many questions that come with a cancer diagnosis — questions about treatment, side effects, caregiving, survivorship and more.
Your stories help us achieve our mission of combining science and humanity to make cancer understandable.
To share your story, submit it via a Word document to editor@curetoday.com for your chance to have your story highlighted here, and please be sure to include "Share Your Story" in the subject line.
CURE^® accepts submissions of personal essays from readers relating to their own cancer experience. Submission of your work to CURE^® does not guarantee publication. CURE^® does not offer compensation for general submissions.
Submissions shall:

Consist of 500-800 words.
Be submitted to editor@curetoday.com as an attachment in a Word document.
Consist of original work created entirely by you and of which all rights belong to you. The work should not have been published elsewhere or currently submitted elsewhere.
Not violate any person or entity’s copyright, trademark, or right of privacy or any other right.

Check out the prompts below and choose the question that resonates most with you.

How did you feel when you learned about the chemo shortage, and then when your care team said you had to (or might have to) change treatment plans to address this shortage?
How did you continue to advocate for yourself as a patient with cancer while navigating the drug shortage?
Have you noticed any differences in side effects, quality of life or even insurance coverage between the originally prescribed regimen and the new one?

By submitting your work to CURE^®, you acknowledge that the ownership of the copyright rights in any edited version belong to CURE^® as an original creation of a derivative work.
