What it's like being a patient partner

Involving patients in the review process brings a perspective that many researchers are not familiar with. The sense of participating in an important program was rewarding. I found the experience invaluable. In many ways it reignited my interest in the science of cancer. I was able to better understand the challenges facing research funding agencies. Thanks.

I am glad the patient voice is part of the review process. I thought each of us added depth and breadth to the discussion based on our lived experience and our personal focus. I think in many cases, applications seen from a non-technical, 'public' perspective added a fresh vision to the debates. Thank you to the patient engagement staff for being so supportive, patient and kind.

As a patient I was able to learn so much more about the research that is being done and to share a patient's viewpoint of these proposals with doctors and researchers. I know that I have learned so much not only about the science but also about the people who have devoted their lives to this research. I really feel honored to have been given this opportunity.
