A conversation with Judy Perkins

As we started season 2 with the search for unicorns and a look at clinical trials from the patient perspective there was one person we had to interview. Judy Perkins is that person. From her initial DCIS diagnosis in 2003 to her metastatic recurrence in 2013 to being the first person declared cancer free after a course of immunotherapy using Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in December 2015 Judy shares her whole story with us. It is one of many trials and not just the clinical ones. Judy shares realities, advice, stories, and inspiration.
Co-host Victoria Goldberg sits down with her friend Judy for a special conversation. This is Our MBC Life.
