Larry Conrad: The most surprising part of my whole cancer journey is that I was ever diagnosed with cancer in the first place. I never thought of myself as really having a risk for cancer or developing cancer, but 3 weeks ago, excuse me, 3 years ago last week, I went to my primary care physician about a lump that I had been feeling in my thigh, and I had an MRI and then she called me. And I was absolutely stunned, with what she had to say. I had never heard of cancer in your leg, your thigh, your hamstring. however you wanna put it. And to make a long story very, very short, my sarcoma diagnosis connected me with Doctor Demming, a radiation oncologist, and ultimately with Doctor Miller, my orthopedic surgeon at the University of Iowa.
Larry Conrad: I would not be here today if it wasn't for the science and the technology and the expertise of my healthcare team at every step of the way, and they have treated me, as a person, not just cancer cells, but all of me realizing that these things can be tiring, they can be difficult, they can be emotional, spiritual, mental, and they've been attentive to all of that with me as I've gone on this journey.
So, I could never say enough about the care that I've received and all of the people who have accompanied me on this journey and helped me to enjoy the life that I'm able to enjoy today.
