CANCER IS SO BARBIE!

Maybe someone is comforted by the "BALD AND BEAUTIFUL BARBIE" campaign but I think the thing that makes a woman look beautiful during chemo is her personal resolve to survive.  Not her Barbie eyes on a baldie doll head.

Clinical trials are research studies involving people. A clinical trial is a way to test a new treatment to prove that it is safe, effective, and possibly better than a standard treatment. The clinical trial may be evaluating a new drug, a new combination of existing treatments, a new approach to radiation therapy or surgery, or a new method of cancer prevention.    About Clinical Trials www.cancer.net

A placebo-controlled clinical trial compares a new treatment with a placebo (inactive drug or treatment). Placebo-controlled clinical trials in cancer research are rare, but are used when there is no effective, standard treatment available. Read more about placebos in cancer clinical trials.

I never understood my clinical trial while I was on it.  The information was all there in my informed consent.  Even though the language was respectful and direct, I was unable to process it.

Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research.    Understanding Clinical Trials: clinicaltrials.gov

I'm glad I participated in the trial, even if I don't understand it.

I DID IT!

I had my colonoscopy.  It was so much fun!

Honestly, the sedation was fun, the prep was not fun, the medical team at Georgetown University Hospital are the best, and: my results were great.
Talk to your primary care physician about colon cancer prevention!
