AACR Shared Vicki Jones’s 20-year Journey With Multiple Myeloma
American Association for Cancer Research shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I am incredibly lucky that progress in cancer research has been faster than the progression of my disease.”
Vicki Jones has lived beyond her multiple myeloma diagnosis for more than 20 years because of a constant stream of innovations in cancer science and medicine. She received a number of treatments during that time; while her cancer relapsed each time, each treatment kept her cancer in check until a new therapeutic became available.
Vicki is alive today because of the rapid pace of these advances that are driven by federally funded biomedical research. But the President’s proposed FY2026 budget—which calls for a nearly 40% cut in funding for the NIH—threatens to disrupt the delivery of new treatments that patients like Vicki desperately need to extend their lives.
Please act now to support Vicki and all of the cancer patients who depend on research-driven progress. Call on Congress to reject the President’s FY2026 budget and preserve NIH investments in cancer research:
