Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation, developed the podcast series Your Stories: Conquering Cancer<\/em><\/a> <\/em>to showcase unscripted conversations between patients, doctors, and the family and friends who conquer cancer with them.<\/p>\n

There are roadblocks to conquering cancer for both patients and researchers. But those hurdles didn\u2019t stop Judith Kaur, MD. In this Your Stories<\/em> episode, \u201cMarriage & Medicine,\u201d Dr. Kaur and her husband, Alan Kaur, share how they keep their vows to advance cancer research through perseverance and teamwork.<\/p>\n

Overcoming the odds<\/h3>\n

In 1975, 30-something mothers were not considered ideal candidates for medical school. \u201cThey said I was too old to go to medical school, that women were not accepted,\u201d remembers Dr. Kaur. But Alan encouraged her, just as she had done for him when he was establishing his career as an actuary.<\/p>\n

At 38, Judith began work as an oncologist and researcher, and she received the first grant awarded by Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation.<\/p>\n

Staying committed<\/h3>\n

Decades after entering medicine, Dr. Kaur is a research pioneer specializing in breast cancer<\/a>, cervical cancer<\/a>, and palliative care<\/a>. She dedicates her work to improving access and quality care in Native American communities. Alan, meanwhile, has contributed to cancer research by participating in a prostate cancer<\/a> prevention clinical trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting to see, after 52 years of marriage, the things that we\u2019ve had together and the times that we\u2019ve had to change paths,\u201d says Dr. Kaur. \u201cI\u2019ve been a stay-at home-mom, I\u2019ve been a schoolteacher, I\u2019ve been at our own clinic and academic center. So I\u2019ve seen kind of the full range of oncology care.\u201d<\/p>\n
