## Resource

In this powerful episode of The Clinical Research Coach , we sit down with Kay Kays — a 30-year pancreatic cancer survivor and passionate patient advocate. Kay’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. Diagnosed with one of the most challenging cancers to treat, she not only defied the odds but has spent the last three decades using her voice to push for better patient access to clinical trials. With her signature honesty and infectious energy, Kay shares why she believes clinical trials should be the appetizer — not the dessert — in the treatment journey. We talk survivorship, advocacy, and the urgent need to change how patients are introduced to research as a care option. Whether you’re in clinical research, oncology, or simply need a dose of inspiration, this conversation is not to be missed.
