   Communication and Catharsis, LuAnne Sirdiak, GRACE Clinical Trials Storytelling 2026 #4.1

   In this series, the 2025-26 Clinical Trials Experiences Through Storytelling Program, we talk to cancer survivors who have a passion for telling their stories in order to help others who may be navigating the clinical trials experience. After her prognosis in the spring of 2024, LuAnne Sirdiak started writing. Not for herself, and not for the world — she created a private Facebook group called Life!, and invited people in. For three years she has documented the scans, the treatments, the waiting, and everything in between, for a group she chose. Music: Ester - Here (BenSound) License certificate #2242649

   Qualifying for Clinical Trials, LuAnne Sirdiak, GRACE Clinical Trials Storytelling 2026

   In this series, the 2025-26 Clinical Trials Experiences Through Storytelling Program, we talk to cancer survivors who have a passion for telling their stories in order to help others who may be navigating the clinical trials experience. LuAnne Sirdiak spent a year waiting for her cancer to grow enough to qualify for a clinical trial. When she got in, she stayed on treatment longer than anyone else — long enough that her results changed how the trial was run. This is the final part of my conversation with LuAnne. We talk about what being in a trial did to her, and what it gave her: the say she had in her own treatment, the dose decisions she was part of, and what it means to her that the data from her body may help the people who come after. And we talk about the question every patient considering a trial eventually has to answer for themselves — knowing everything she knows now, and where she is today, would she do it again.
