"I never had the fear of being a guinea pig. I never felt that I was in an experimental situation. I always had the impression that I was being treated very professionally, and that the data that was being gathered was being submitted to scientists who wanted to either improve this drug or adjust the dose so that it’s more effective to treat a particular disease. I never felt that I was being used to do anything that I hadn’t agreed to."

"The quality of care was excellent. The nurses were excellent, the doctors were excellent. Everyone that I’ve come in contact with from the time that I was diagnosed with breast cancer, to the end, I mean it was just wonderful. They were just hands on, they were very concerned, very helpful. I don’t know, I really can’t say – they were just there. They were very supportive. Very supportive"

"I think, the family was a little worried about being in the clinical trial because I think its more associated with guinea pig type of thing. But it really wasn’t. I just talked to them and told them that the doctor thought that would be best. So that’s what we went with. I was extremely comfortable with the care. They were very personable and great to work with. The doctors and the nurses did a great job of explaining everything, all the meds and the side effects and what I could expect."
