Patients stories

What brought me to see a doctor was a self-examination.

This is my new body.

Your job matters.

The reality of not seeing my future and my kids’ future was real for me.

I realized that I didn’t have a lot of time.

Easier to stay positive because it was so shocking.

Thank you so much for coming up with this drug.

We really banded together to survive.

I am not a cancer patient. I am a person who happens to have cancer.

I enjoy each day and the time given to me.

The employee’s at Bristol Myers Squibb are my new guardian angels.

I felt in my heart that I was going to be able to tackle this.

We had an opportunity that gave me such faith.

Life after cancer is truly never the same. You have a greater appreciation for each day, no matter what you're doing.

I had a conversation with them that was almost like a last conversation.

I feel like a part of the Bristol Myers Squibb family. They developed a product that treats the patient, as well as the condition, and for that I am extremely grateful.

What I thought was happening in my life suddenly changed.

Once I wasn't afraid, I was able to fight the disease.

Defying the odds and celebrating life
