I strongly encourage anyone passionate about patient advocacy to participate in any way they can. Whether volunteering at a local cancer center, organizing a fundraiser, or even sharing your story on social media, every little bit helps. 

My plea to health systems, governments, and all other entities who play a part in the value chain - do better.  

We need a better way to connect the people who need better medicines with the companies that create them.  

I think we should think for a better approach to include cancer patients, so they don't feel alone.

In this mission, every scientist, researcher, and healthcare professional plays a critical role. Together, we're not just confronting a disease; we're laying the groundwork for a world where cancer no longer casts a shadow of fear.

My journey is a testament to the power of hope, community, and the strength we find within ourselves. I may carry scars, but they tell a story of survival and determination. I'm a survivor, facing each day with a smile, grateful for the support that surrounds me.

I am 36 years old. I am still here. The future may not look like how it did when I was 31 but I can honestly say...it doesn't look bad at all.

 I survived everything! From being a girl who was afraid of an even a very small prick, to the brave girl who survived cancer, life has taught me so much! 

No one wants to hear those words. You know what I mean. The ‘c’ word, the big casino. Unfortunately though, it was my turn. I can’t remember much of the conversation when I was told, I just remember key words / sentences.

I learned to appreciate the little things in life that bring me joy. I now feel a certain kinship with cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.
