"I feel even more empowered to be my own advocate—I have new treatments and companies to
explore, have already found an integrative medicine department I'll call on Monday, and love the recommendation to be as specific as possible when explaining symptoms. I'm also thinking about ways I can be an advocate for others—I've always loved educating, coaching, and inspiring people, and advocating fits nicely into that realm!"
