Bayshore Specialty Rx’s Post

Wonderful article written from the perspective of a surgical oncologist turned cancer patient. Clinicians, our patients hang on our every word. Make time for your patients and please be intentional about what you say and how you say it!

Drawing from her own experience, Parexel Chief Patient Officer Stacy Hurt 🌻 offers powerful lessons on the role of empathy in engaging #patients and #caregivers. Her words inspired me, and I hope they'll do the same for those developing solutions for #oncology, #raredisease, or any of the other challenging conditions so many are dedicated to solving. https://lnkd.in/eg_9MB6J

On this Day in History, December 10, reflecting on the following events. 2005-Graduated from University of Texas at Dallas with a Bachelors of Arts Historical Studies 2015-Member Services for the golf department at GlenEagles Country Club in Plano, TX 2019-(picture not shown) Received news from baseline scans for #clinicaltrial for TIL therapy that I had a 1 cm metastasis to the right occipital lobe of the brain. Told I was excluded from the clinical trial due to metastasis, and should consider calling hospice and settling my affairs. With this being a phase, 2 cohort 4 clinical trial, only way to get back in the trial and have a chance to live was to stabilize or reduce brain metastasis. 5 sessions of SRS Radiation needed but insurance approval needed 1st to have on schedule to move forward. Scans to show improvement had to be completed on or before December, 24 2019-14 days. After 6 days, Insurance approval was granted. 5 sessions completed in 4 days and scanned completed on December 24, 2019. 2021-Follow up appointment with Dr. Le at Texas Oncology. Celebrated over 1+ year of CMR (complete metabolic response) 2023-Blessed to be Alive, Healthy, and continuing to celebrate life thanks to #TILtherapy which eradicated stage 4 Terminal #MucosalMelanoma. What still hits home every time I share my story is that I believed in myself and never gave up. I had to fight for my spot on the roster and Im so glad I did because I was the very last person to be dosed in this trial. When it comes to History, i’m proud to be a part of it.
