Cancer’s enemy CPRIT funds research, prevention projects
Keith Argenbright, MD, reviews a chart with breast cancer survivor Ann Rydbeck. Ms. Rydbeck received a free biopsy at Moncrief Cancer Institute thanks to funding provided by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT).
“I don’t know what I would have done without the CPRIT funds.”
BY CRYSTAL CONDE Ann Rydbeck vividly remembers the day her life changed for- ever: July 28, 2010. She was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer that day. The 51-year-old Weatherford resident felt a lump in her breast about a year earlier
and didn’t go to the doctor because she didn’t have health insurance and she doesn’t have a history of the disease in her family. She finally decided to get a mammogram when reality hit and she realized the lump wasn’t going away on its own.
