Speak Up for Cancer Research - Brinlee Luster @HuntsmanCancerInstitute

Uploaded December 2025 | Updated September 2026, 20 hours ago

Three years after being diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer, Brinlee is here today because research helped guide the treatments that made a difference in her life. For her, research isn’t abstract—it’s personal. It’s time she didn’t know she’d have and the hope of a future once filled with uncertainty.

Her story shows how research shapes care today and opens the door to new possibilities tomorrow.

We’d love to hear from you. Share why cancer research matters to you using #SpeakUpforCancerResearch and #CancerResearchSavesLivesHCI. Your voice helps show the impact research has on lives today and the hope it creates for tomorrow.

$Meant To Be: Travis and Lady’s Story Travis was born with neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic condition that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue. These tumors are usually benign but sometimes can become cancerous. After three femur fractures, he had to decide if an amputation was right for him. He found support and comfort from an unexpected source—his three-legged dog, Lady. Call 801- 587-7000 to schedule a doctor’s appointment and find resources near you.
