Alejandra Reynoso, former senator and breast cancer survivor, recently participated in a forum on triple-negative breast cancer at the National Academy of Medicine. In this event, crucial topics about this disease and the importance of access to new therapies and innovative treatments were discussed.
In an exclusive interview after the forum, Reynoso emphasized the need to provide information and support to women diagnosed with triple-negative cancer. As a cancer patient, she highlighted the importance of better understanding the disease and showing empathy towards those facing this diagnosis.
Reynoso expressed her concern about the reality in some public health institutions in Mexico, where patients often receive recommendations to pay for surgeries and treatments outside the system. She underscored the urgency for patients to have access to information provided by various specialists and new treatment options that improve their quality of life and help slow the progression of cancer.
The former senator expressed gratitude for the invitation to the forum and optimism about the positive impact that such events can have on the community. She concluded by reflecting on her own experience with cancer, emphasizing that this disease has taught her that life goes beyond the daily routine. She stated that every time she attends such forums, she learns more to help those in need.
