I will say, a personal story, very recently,
that one of the young scientists in my lab,
who was studying pancreatic cancer,
herself was diagnosed with a very rare metastatic,
aggressive form of cancer.
From diagnosis to her ultimate passing was only 2 months.
And she developed severe cachexia
and to see that from someone so young, so smart, so promising,
really drove home to me
the importance of finding better treatments.
