I’M LIVING PROOF, 2015

We live in a new era of cancer and a new hope for survivorship. A short time ago, patients diagnosed with melanoma were more likely to die from the disease than to survive it. Today’s reality is different. New treatments have become available in recent years and more promising treatments are on the way. This is revolutionary for a cancer for which, not long ago, there was no hope.

J’EN SUIS LA PREUVE VIVANTE, 2015

Nous vivons dans une nouvelle ère dans le domaine du cancer et un nouvel espoir pour la survie. Il y a quelque temps, les patients diagnostiqués avec un mélanome de stade avancé étaient plus susceptibles de mourir de la maladie que d’y survivre il. La réalité d’aujourd’hui est différente. De nouveaux traitements sont devenus disponibles au cours des dernières années et des médicaments encore plus prometteurs sont en chemin.

SAVE YOUR SKIN, 2013
