"No Hesitation" is Amy's story.

Diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (Triple Negative) in the fall of 2020, Amy was asked at her diagnosis if she would be willing to participate in a clinical trial, and she immediately agreed without hesitation.  She has participated in the ARTEMIS trial through MD Anderson, and a trial of Enzalutamide and Paclitaxel Before Surgery.  She has also participated in mental health studies and trials specifically for people who have been through a cancer diagnosis, through Stanford Cancer Center.  This study worked to help understand how your mindset might affect one's health and well-being.  She continues to participate in a study called Breaking Through the Brain Fog at the University of Texas at Dallas, focusing on education, exercises, and strategies to support brain health.  

Amy's story is one of success, and not hesitating to move forward with clinical trials that saved her life.
