In 2011, Teresa Tiano and Katy Kosyachkova were diagnosed with stomach cancer. As they began their journey, they found very few places to turn to for help, so they turned to each other.

 
 

“We were at very different points in our lives, and were brought together by a disease for which there was not much information, not much support and very little funding. We decided to change that by starting My Gut Feeling. - Teresa & Katy, Co-Founders


OUR GOALS

My Gut Feeling is a stomach cancer support network for patients, survivors and caregivers to provide peer-to-peer support, education, awareness and advocacy as they go through their cancer journey.


Support & Awareness

Together we can face the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges associated with stomach cancer.

We host bi-monthly support groups to provide community, resources, and research to patients, survivors and caregivers. Learn more about our support groups and check out when the next event is!

Advocacy
