"Dear cancer, thank you for losing to my mom." Faced with a generational history of #BreastCancer, Tasha encouraged her kids to write letters to cancer following her diagnosis, turning fear into resilience and creating meaningful conversations—while cooking her mom’s favorite catfish recipe—along the way.
Watch the latest episode of "Rewrite the Recipe," a series developed with @americancancersociety and @tiamowry to learn how passing down family recipes can become the bridge to discussing family cancer history within Black communities.

Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) is a bacterium that can cause serious disease, especially in people who have recently used antibiotics.
At Pfizer, our scientists are exploring new vaccine approaches designed to help prevent disease caused by C. diff infection (CDI), potentially protecting those most at risk and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.
Watch the video and tap the link in our bio to hear how a vaccine may help shape the future of CDI care.

Today, around 850,000 people are impacted by hemophilia worldwide, but did you know it was notably passed through Queen Victoria and her descendants too? Learn more about hemophilia and why it’s called the “royal disease.”
When navigating a rare condition like transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis or ATTR-CM, connecting with others who share your experience can make all the difference. There's incredible strength in finding a community.
The collective journey of patients and caregivers is a testament to the power of shared understanding and a reminder to keep pushing forward. You don't have to navigate this alone. Learn more and find resources at the link in bio.

Despite advances in treatment, there is still a critical need for new therapies to help further reduce the impact of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), a more advanced and invasive form of breast cancer.
Jennifer, one of our dedicated Pfizer scientists, shares how studying enzymes called cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) could one day lead to new therapies and more hope for patients with certain forms of MBC.

One of the most powerful steps you can take when living with a rare condition like transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis or ATTR-CM is to be your own best advocate, and look for a doctor you can count on.
That's the shared advice from patients and caregivers, whose experiences highlight the importance of being proactive in your health journey.
We're here to help you. Use the Find a Specialist tool at the link in bio to help connect with a doctor who has experience in ATTR-CM.

For Richard, a diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis or ATTR-CM, a rare and serious heart condition, was a life-changing moment. But what came next was just as important: finding strength in his support system.
With the love of his wife, family, and a dedicated healthcare team, Richard found the motivation to not just manage his condition, but to live fully. His journey is a powerful reminder that you don't have to face a diagnosis alone.
This #AmyloidosisAwarenessMonth, we’re inspired by Richard's resilience. See the link in our bio to learn more about ATTR-CM and find resources.
