One mom’s journey into patient advocacy started after two of her daughters were diagnosed with galactosemia, a rare disease. There’s finally a potential new treatment for this condition, which families say has helped their children who have participated in the clinical trial. But they’re worried their voices are being ignored.
Jodie Solari, Communications Lead for the Galactosemia Foundation shares how the diagnosis changed her life into a life of advocacy, and why she’s pushing for the voices of families like hers to be considered when reviewing new treatments.
