I have dedicated my life to serving others, since I was being diagnosed and treated for cancer: I am more aware of people's struggles. Knowing that with my participation in a clinical study I contribute a grain of sand to the well-being of many people… Fills me with great satisfaction.

Trial Link(s): Carvedilol in Preventing Heart Failure in Childhood Cancer Survivors

I feel that as an African American we do not participate in programs that could BE and sometimeS ARE beneficial to us. I hope by my participation this will encourage others African American women to be more open. Our health is so important to our family members and our community. I hope this will bring about a change and especially in this area of breast imaging.

Trial Link(s): TMIST – Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial 2D vs 3D Breast Cancer Screening

When I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2005, I was focused on my own recovery. When I heard that I could participate in a trial for targeted radiation therapy I jumped at the chance to help other women, and myself, benefit from the latest technology (but the additional layers of surveillance were also a comfort!)
