Andrew lived that. In 1996 through a routine blood test he was diagnosed with a leukemia. By reaching out to other patients and connecting with doctors who specialize in his illness he participated in a clinical trial, received "tomorrow's medicine today" and now, 12 years after diagnosis, remains in deep remission and takes no medicines.
While Andrew's success won't be everyone's story, he is committed to helping each person he touches approach their illness in a way that gives them the best chance of good health: getting smart about their diagnosis, seeking out the best healthcare providers, getting second and even third opinions on what approach to take, and drawing on others for support.
Patient Power® is built on a library of programs, which continues to grow with the addition of each week's new webcasts. These programs feature top medical experts and inspiring patients from some of America's leading medical institutions. They can be heard live on the Web and past programs can be found on the Program Replay Library page.
