What It’s Like to Participate in a Cutting-Edge Clinical Trial

What it's Like to Participate in a Cutting-Edge Clinical Trial

Madelaine Atkins was 50 when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, in 2008, after finding a small lump in her right breast.

Despite receiving chemotherapy, radiation, and having surgery to remove her right breast, unfortunately, in 2011, Madelaine was diagnosed with Advanced Breast Cancer in her shoulder, neck, and lymph nodes.

After discussing further treatment options with her oncologist, Madelaine decided to participate in the FINER clinical trial. We spoke with Madelaine about her diagnoses, her decision to participate in the FINER clinical trial, and advice to other women who have received a diagnosis.
