Suzanne Martin attended #ascogi26 for #SayYEStoHope with a fresh perspective, bringing an interactive, powerful exchange of stories, goals, support, and HOPE!Suzanne is a Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer survivor who is living proof of the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment team. She combined surgery (liver resection), medical oncology (chemotherapy), interventional radiology (SIR-Spheres microspheres), and radiology (SBRT) in her treatment protocol and has been No Evidence of Disease for over a decade. Her story resonated with the people she met, forging a memorable connection that inspired action and motivated progress.The results she has experienced speak volumes to the dedication, passion, and importance of the research accomplished over the years. ASCO GI has been critical in creating innovative care strategies for GI malignancies, driving patient outcomes and cutting-edge treatments.Being able to connect with other advocates, make new friends, visit with those who now feel like family, and meet with researchers, physicians, nurses, and pharma is absolutely priceless. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of such vital and life-changing progress! ... See MoreSee Less
From Suzanne: Anyone who knows me knows the importance that I place on multidisciplinary treatment for cancer patients. Without such teamwork, I would not be alive, and I am particularly thankful for the SIR-Spheres microspheres that downstaged my liver tumors to allow for continued treatment. It was an honor to start 2026 (and my 21-year anniversary of SIRT) at the Sirtex National Sales Meeting. This company has become family to my family over the years, with many of these passionate folks supporting YES and the work we do to help patients ensure no stone is left unturned and that they are not alone. One of the many highlights of this meeting was spending time with Fariba, a young Stage 4 colorectal cancer survivor. We have known each other for several years but have met in person only once before. She is AMAZING: a mathematics professor, wife to Igor, and mom of a beautiful two-year-old baby boy. Fariba was diagnosed while pregnant, underwent chemotherapy, delivered her baby, began chemo again, received SIR-Spheres microspheres followed by chemotherapy, and is now a candidate for a living donor liver transplant. Fariba and Igor shared their heartwarming story with Sirtex employees, and we also spent some time exploring Palm Springs, California. We continued the tradition of spreading hope wherever we went. Ronnie and I watched as the two climbed down an embankment, crossed a gulley, and climbed a cliff to create a beautiful, original rendition of #hope in the Sand. Enjoy the photos to follow… and remember to look for HOPE in unexpected places. ❤️ Suzanne Lindley#HopeAndHealing#SayYEStoHope#cancersupport#awareness#NoOneFightsAlone#metastaticcancer#survivor#youarenotalone#januaryawareness...
