Kate Korson was diagnosed with stage 3, triple-negative breast cancer.
Kate Korson was living out her dream of caring for rescue horses in Colorado and preparing to celebrate her 34th birthday when she said she received a surprising diagnosis.," describing her thoughts at the time of her diagnosis last January. "Why is this happening to me? How is this possible?"
"I want to help people in the future who are faced with this. I want things to be easier for them," she said. "The benefits of a clinical trial are that you get the most cutting-edge treatment. You get the treatment that will be available in a few years, and for me, that was overwhelmingly successful."
"The standard of care for treatment of triple negative breast cancer would involve six months of intense chemotherapy, along with immunotherapy," Knollman told "GMA." "And with her participating in this clinical trial, we were able to treat her very effectively for this breast cancer in half of the time and spare her a lot of toxicity.
After undergoing a successful surgery, Korson began radiation therapy, which she will continue to undergo for several weeks.Although not every patient who undergoes clinical trials will have the same outcome, Korson said she hopes her story helps to both destigmatize clinical trials and raise awareness of breast cancer treatment opportunities.
