Very Important Patient (VIP) Update: Brittany Hess

Brittany

Brittany Hess is one of the great success stories at Lazarex. She has been courageously fighting an extremely rare soft tissue cancer called Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS) since age 19 when she was diagnosed in July 2001 at Stage IV. Brittany continues to beat the odds by exceeding the typical efficacy of her medicine in clinical trials and as a vibrant young woman is leading as normal a life as possible with her dog and her boyfriend in the Seattle, Washington area.

According to Brittany's mother, Bonni, Brittany's November 2011 CT scans were stable and she has set a record for the longest sustained disease stability within her clinical trial. "We continue to be immensely grateful for the 30 months of disease stability and significant tumor shrinkage/disappearance that Cediranib has provided for Brittany, as well as everything that all of you (the Lazarex team members) have done and continue to do to make Brittany's continued participation in this clinical trial possible," Bonni said.
