“My mom did have a recurrence of her cancer when I was 21. She was given a trial drug (partly funded by the BCRFA) that put her in remission within three months. It was truly amazing. She lived 6 full years (all 3 of her kids got married and had children) before her next reoccurence. Unfortunately the cancer had spread. Her story is the poster story for what breast cancer research can do. Her life was extended because of research, and while we are forever grateful for that, we still have work to do.”
