It can be devastating not knowing whom to go to for information or only realising when it’s too late that there are steps one should have taken before starting chemotherapy or any other treatment.

For Indyra Oropeza Aguila, President and Founder of Con L de Leucemia, the journey started with the strong support of her doctors. But she soon realised that not everyone has the same access to information and healthcare. To help navigate through the challenge, She started a blog to share her experience, became a patient advocate, authored a memoir, founded a non-profit organisation and is currently driving support to implement the recently signed National Cancer Law in Peru which will seek to provide all oncology patients in Peru with access to dignified and high quality of health care.
