GIRLFRIEND OF THE WEEK: DARLENE GANT

There are some people in this world that I know have been making paths for others throughout their life. Darlene Gant is no doubt one of those people. She recently gained notoriety for creating a homemade video from her hospital bed that she posted on Youtube asking for drug maker Genentech to allow her access to Pertuzumab. Family, friends and doctors had each sought out early use of the drug which is expected to be approved by the FDA in June for certain kinds of breast, ovarian and prostate cancers.

Her video went viral and she also had an influential GIRLFRIEND named Linda on her side.

In addition to her drug trial, please say prayers for Darlene and others fighting cancer. It is a disease that has touched every single GIRLFRIEND in some way. You can read about Darlene’s journey at Cancer Avenues. She has graciously provided her powerful story.
