Jean Coutu<\/strong> and Brunet<\/strong> stores across Quebec are proud to partner with the CHUM Foundation<\/strong> and the Montreal Cancer Institute <\/strong>to support research, care, and innovation in oncology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because here in Quebec, every breakthrough has a real impact: more hope, more time, more personalized treatments\u2026 and more precious moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout April, when you purchase products from participating brands (Dove, Dove Men+Care, Scotties, Sensodyne, Polident, La Roche-Posay, and Lindt) at Jean Coutu or Brunet, you help contribute to a total donation of $100,000 in support of the CHUM Foundation and the Montreal Cancer Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By choosing these products, you are directly supporting what truly changes lives: research that accelerates discovery, care that better supports patients, and innovation that brings us closer to the treatments of tomorrow \u2014 right here in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo you remember the moments that shape your life? I will always remember the day I found out I was pregnant. After more than two years of waiting and hoping, it was an overwhelming joy\u2014almost unreal. But I will remember just as clearly the day my doctor said the words no one ever wants to hear: \u2018you have cancer,\u2019 just nine weeks after I learned I was going to become a mother for the first time. I was 32 years old, with my whole life ahead of me, and finally given the incredible chance to bring life into the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the heartbreaking decisions and the storm that lay ahead, I chose to fight for both of us. I had surgery at the beginning of my second trimester, followed by chemotherapy just a few weeks later. At every step, my concern wasn\u2019t for myself, but for my baby. I was afraid the surgery or the treatments would be too much for him\u2026 or rather, for her. My daughter, Emma, was born on September 7, 2015, in perfect health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the past, in a situation like mine, doctors would have recommended ending the pregnancy. Today, thanks to more targeted treatments, better-adapted care, and a deeper understanding of the risks, things have changed. If my partner and I were able to choose to continue the pregnancy, it\u2019s because of advances in oncology research\u2014and the people who make them possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every breakthrough, every study, every donation helps change lives\u2014like mine and my daughter\u2019s. By supporting the Montreal Cancer Institute and the CHUM Foundation, you are part of this essential mission: giving more families access to the hope, the treatments, and the outcomes that science now makes possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u2022 When:<\/strong> April 1 to 30 Thank you for taking action with us and for choosing to make a real difference in cancer care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cancer stops being a statistic the moment it hits close to home.
