Survivorship Beyond One Family's Story
Todd's experience lands within a broader statewide picture of what cancer survivors report needing and doing after treatment. A 2020 survivorship report from michigan.gov found that 7.2 percent of cancer survivors reported having participated in a clinical trial, a glimpse into how survivors in the state engage with ongoing care and research.
