Eight years ago, Yu faced one of life’s most difficult challenges of her life. Her husband received a diagnosis that no one ever wants to hear: metastatic cancer. The prognosis was seemingly hopeless, to say the least. “It was very, very bad at the time. It basically shattered our world,” Yu recalls with a heavy heart. Despite the devastating news, she didn’t give up the search for hope.
Yu started spending “5 hours or 6 hours a day” looking into every new study, update, and announcement regarding clinical trials. This search for hope became her mission, yet it came at a big personal cost. Precious moments that could have been spent making memories with her husband were instead spent searching for a lifeline.
Yu’s story is a reflection of a challenge faced by countless people worldwide. Finding and getting into clinical trials is hard and emotionally draining. There is a critical need for a more straightforward, easier approach to connect patients with potentially life-saving trials.
