Trina Isaac has advanced colon cancer and is among the many cancer patients who look to clinical trials of promising new drugs to gain an edge against aggressive cancers. “This journey isn’t easy,” says Isaac, who has a young son. “I worry about not being there for him. I’ve prayed, and I’ve cried, but I refuse to let it control me,” says Isaac, whose motto is MMOP —make memories on purpose. “I have cancer, but cancer doesn’t have me.”
