A Conversation with Judy Perkins
As we started season 2 with the search for unicorns and a look at clinical trials from the patient perspective, there was one person we had to interview - Judy Perkins. From her initial DCIS diagnosis in 2003, to her metastatic recurrence in 2013, to being the first person declared cancer free after a course of immunotherapy using Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in December 2015, Judy shares her whole story with us. It is one of many trials; not just the clinical ones. Judy shares realities, advice, stories, and inspiration. Co-host Victoria Goldberg sits down with her for a special conversation.
