“You go from stress & fear to the knowledge of hope and power that you have exactly the drug you need to treat your cancer — I want to do transformation science. Not just another treatment for breast cancer but really define therapy that will provide long-term treatment for women with metastatic breast cancer. We’re moving in a new direction that will take us leaps and bounds in the next year or two.” – Dr. Suzanne Fuqua, Professor of Medicine and Molecular and Cellular Biology at the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor College of Medicine

“My grandmother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer when I was in elementary school & during my most formative years, we cared for her. In caring for her for all those years, I went from intending to be a professional violinist to realizing that science was the direction I wanted to go in. I wish I could have had more years with her.” Sarah Herzog, Grad Student


“I am fortunately here 27 years later. Twenty-five of those have been metastatic. To see the changes in the treatments and how quickly they are coming and how much they have evolved is so exciting. I’ve lost so many friends along the way and to see that life is being extended is beyond words. This research that Suzanne is doing is changing the landscape so quickly. It is impressive and it is amazing that it is giving women a chance to watch their kids grow up and live longer, happier lives.” Susan Rafte, Patient Advocate
