Welcome!

I'm Kommah!

After surviving a 95% mortality rate from two rare forms of breast cancer, I now live to fulfill two passions. One, to share the power of hope and belief in impossible possibles. The other is to be the voice of the patient in medical and legislative arenas.

I am still here, I never gave up!

COMMUNITY IMPACT
 

California Cancer Patient Bill of Rights logo.

Kommah is one of eight patients represented in The California Cancer Patient Bill of Rights, which was unanimously passed by the California State Assembly.  

"The Cancer Patients Bill of Rights, which is the first of its kind in the nation, calls for six rights that every cancer patient in California should have from the moment of diagnosis to ensure they have access to the care that they need. The campaign was supported by Cancer Care Is Different, a coalition-based campaign effort led by City of Hope to improve patient access to advanced cancer care in California." (City of Hope)

"I was told I had a 5% chance
of survival in 2005.  I have beat
those odds despite having 2
rare forms of breast cancer.
I have lived through the IMPOSSIBLE!"

As a Patient Advocate, I am passionate about patient-centered care.  Every patient deserves the right to have access to care.
