Giving Back through clinical trials

As we all know, sometimes the ongoing day to day struggles with an "incurable" cancer can be overwhelming and depressing.

In response I am trying to get out of myself with the volunteer work for BE THE MATCH and Ezer Mizion .

Now I am volunteering to help with research. Will I get anything out of it? I sure hope so, but my best positive results may be just knowing that I helped further understanding of how we react when we are hit with the unexpected.. The research is not about curing, but coping.

It must be enough for now to share that I am putting my name out there as a lab rat or a data point. When I know more about the process, I will share details if that doesn't breach protocol.
