Pediatric GISTer tells it like it is at Teenage Cancer Trust

Rachel Gilbert was diagnosed in 2001 with GIST at the age of just 15. Since then she has bounced around from Gleevec (for seven years) to Sutent and back to Gleevec.

In that time she has grown tremendously and is now a young woman.

Recently, Rachel was invited to speak at a Teenage Cancer Trust conference under the heading “Rare and Isolated” Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. Jimmy's Teen TV was on hand to record the event.
