Margaret Livermore

On this episode, we speak with Margaret Livermore, a member of SFA's Public Policy Committee and a dedicated advocate for the sarcoma community. Margaret shares her experience with leiomyosarcoma, first diagnosed in 2002 and recurring 16 years later. She discusses the importance of self-advocacy for informed decision-making and the value of supporting others facing similar situations.

The conversation also addresses systemic inequities that minority patients often encounter within the medical system, exploring how these can create barriers to care and foster mistrust. It underscores the need for continued dialogue within the sarcoma community to ensure all individuals have equitable access to care. We appreciate Margaret's openness in this important discussion.
