  • "I've been interviewed by radio programs throughout the world, and I've never discovered a more informed and prepared host than Dr. Pat. She discovered not only the broad themes in my book, but zeroed in on how they impact people today. I hope she'll consider becoming a television presenter, as she showcases people and causes important in our society."
    Elizabeth Koehler-Pentacoff

  • "Excellent question Pat! Not one that I get asked very often so thanks for asking. What have my a-ha moments been? There have been so many. I mean I am a totally different person than I was when I started studying this 10 years ago. My first a-ha moment was the a-ha that someone needs to study this. If we're trying to win the war on cancer why are we ignoring the people who've won? We should be talking to them. We should be studying them. So that was the first coin that dropped for me was just something like do this, study this, don't be afraid. It didn't scare me. It actually excited me. My dear friend died when we were 16 of stomach cancer so to be across from someone like him was told they were going to die and yet 25 years later that does not scare me. That gives me incredible hope and for a potential cure for cancer down the road."
    Dr. Kelly Turner

  • "So first of all congratulations for all of the things that you have created and for all the differences that you have made in so many peoples' lives. I love hearing your story because I know the impact you have in the world. So Mazel tov to you."
