pj ledar is an 11 year Stage 3B Breast Cancer Survivor.
Within 3 weeks of diagnosis, she underwent a radical modified mastectomy.
Facing a less than 20% survival rate, she became part of a small group of  women nationwide that participated in one of the earliest EXPERIMENTAL Clinical Trials for Adjuvant Chemotherapy for treatment of Breast Cancer. Despite four grueling years of chemo, radiation, and many surgeries, she stumbled her way back. And as a result, Behind the Pink Ribbon  was born.  Using raw wit and layman terms she descibes what its really like to be monitored for the rest of her life. 

Currently, pj is working on several projects. Not to mention, another book or two.  Besides being an avid supporter of Breast Cancer Clinical Trials, she speaks about her experiences in hopes to   inspire others on faith and living with cancer

Breast Cancer Clinical Trial Stats

When I began this journey, there was a 75% survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer who carried the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2  hereditory mutant gene at least for 5 years. Today, the survival rate
is 90%.

Some more tidbits....

Tamoxifen is now an FDA approved treatment medication for breast cancer.

We know Fiber Sealant as 'liquid bandages' and can be bought
over the counter !

Clearly we can see that clinical trials have affected many  parts of our every day life!
