FRIDAY, MARCH 21 Author Spotlight: Reservations for Nine/Medfield TV
MONDAY, MARCH 17 I was honored to be a guest on NBC's Today Show during the 9AM hour. During the segment, I discussed my book and the importance of early cancer detection and treatment with Craig Melvin (who graciously wrote the foreword to the book and who interviewed my son, Patrick, on the show in March 2020). This appearance marked a significant opportunity to reach a broad audience and share our passion for defeating this terrible disease. Thank you to Craig and the team at NBC TODAY for offering me a nationwide platform to share my book writing story and resurface my son's inspiring story. For more updates and behind-the-scenes content, follow me on LinkedIn and other social media platforms.

Author Visit with Medfield Resident Dr. George Beauregard: A Doctor's Family Confronts Cancer
SATURDAY, MARCH 29 I attended the 6th Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center Patient and Family Forum 2025, held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, in Boston. As in previous years, the day-long event offered a mix of patient stories, research updates, and clinical information about CRC and its various diagnostic and treatment modalities. Marisa Peter's keynote address about her experience with CRC was courageous and inspiring. (Check out her BE SEEN Foundation website: https://beseen.care) Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) O'Donnell's research keynote address about the great work going on at Dana-Farber's Centers for Early Detection and Interception provides hope for the many people who will be afflicted by this potentially curable disease. https://www.dana-farber.org/cancer-care/treatment/early-detection-interception. Please check out DFCI's Beyond CRC Project, which will provide valuable data to expedite the search for answers and solutions to the rising incidence of young-onset cases.
I'm optimistic that a future forum will be one that celebrates major breakthroughs in early cancer detection and treatment...with thousands of lives saved by their work.
FRIDAY, APRIL 25 Appearance on Dr. Phil's Merit TV regarding a promising study just published in Nature about a specific genotoxin's role in early-onset CRC.
