Laura from Des Moines, Iowa
"I was eager to be in a clinical trial. I wanted the best care I could get, from an expert in the field."

“Science can help us in so many ways that we haven’t figured out yet. If you can help to figure that stuff out, that is an amazing legacy.”
Under the care of a melanoma specialist, Laura has enrolled in a clinical trial and has received medications not available at other centers to treat stage 4 melanoma in a lymph node in her hip.
