I’ve shared before that my mother died when I was 19. She was only 47 and had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a blood cancer. I found out after she died that clinical trials for AML treatments enroll very few Black patients.
Diversity in clinical trials is the difference between life and death. That’s why I’m excited to be partnering with @CancerSupportHQ once again.
@CancerSupportHQ’s free Peer Clinical Trials Support Program matches Black or African American cancer patients or individuals at a higher risk for a cancer diagnosis with a trained peer — a Black cancer patient or survivor with experience participating in a cancer clinical trial.
