Empowering Treatment Choices: A Patient's Journey

Like to say, well, hey, you're being told to do this treatment or you're being called to do this treatment. Is that a fit? And do we have ability to measure whether that's a fit or not? And then what can we do to support you for whatever treatment you're doing? That's the philosophy in which I come from instead of, it's not about a protocol, it's not about my beliefs of what the patient should do or not do. And then to help educate and inform and empower them to make the right choice for themselves based on really good, sound data as well as their own intuition and as well as their own, you know, mindset of where they are in that, in that time. And so, you know, for someone who's gone through my own journey over, oh my God, we just hit over 33 years ago, a terminal cancer diagnosis where standard of care did not have anything to offer for me. I was too far gone. It's too missed, understandably. You know, in fairness, what 19 year old in 1991 were you expecting to see a terminal ovarian cancer diagnosis like that? Talk about the unicorn. We talk about that in medicine all the time, right?
