When Jacksonville Judge Audrey Moran received a clear mammogram in 2017, her doctor still ordered an MRI — and it saved her life. The MRI found breast cancer that no one could see or feel. Years later, during emergency surgery, doctors discovered her cancer had returned and spread. Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. With Dr. Pooja Advani and her team at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Judge Moran began treatment with a new targeted therapy. “It’s like a heat-seeking missile that zeroes in on cancer cells,” she said. Today, her brain cancer is gone, her spine disease is stable, and she’s back on the bench at the Duval County Courthouse — feeling strong and grateful. Learn more about her journey and the Mayo Clinic team behind the breakthrough that changed everything. https://bit.ly/3IEmDto
