Ignoring Doctor's Prognosis Saved My Life.

A cancer survivor shares her story of how clinical trials saved her life after her first oncologist gave her only 16 months to live. With the help of her doctor father, she explored clinical trial options and participated in multiple trials over the course of several years, buying her time and stability. She encourages others to consider clinical trials as a treatment option and highlights the financial burdens that can come with participation. She is now NED (no evidence of disease) and advocates for patient empowerment and access to clinical trials.
