Abigail Johnston was diagnosed with de novo Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) in 2017 at the age of 38, while she was tandem breastfeeding her children12. “De novo” means that her cancer was metastatic from the start, without an earlier stage diagnosis2.

Since her diagnosis, Abigail has become a dedicated patient advocate, focusing on supporting others in the MBC community. She has been involved in legislative advocacy, mentoring programs, and educational initiatives13. Abigail shares her experiences and knowledge through various platforms, including her blog and contributions to cancer-related websites2.

Her story is a powerful example of resilience and dedication to helping others navigate the challenges of living with metastatic breast cancer.

Jennifer Davis, 41, became the first person to get a breast cancer vaccine not yet approved for widespread use in a trial study in 2021.The vaccine had been in development at Cleveland Clinic for more than 20 years before it finally reached the human trial phase. Jenni Davis was a wife, mom of 3, daughter and registered nurse when she received the devastating diagnosis of Triple Negative Breast Cancer in 2018. She would complete treatment and surgeries and would qualify for the vaccine trial by a mere two weeks. This is her story of courage and faith in Dr. Tuohy's Science. The "Pink Vaccine" had been the dedicated work of the late Dr. Vincent Kevin Tuohy at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic. It would take 20 years to get this vaccine from "Bench to Bedside" to test the hypothesis that "Prevention is the Cure". This is a story of perseverance, tenacity, faith and hope. The trial is ongoing under the direction of Dr. Justin Johnson who had worked with Dr. Touhy for 30 years on the vaccine project and Dr. Thomas Budd of the Taussig Cancer Center at the Cleveland Clinic.
