‘It’s my turn to do it for someone else down the line’ Lakes Region General Hospital celebrates cancer patients & their contributions to clinical trials BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — This summer marks three years since Diane Biggs of Belmont was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although her disease is considered terminal, Biggs isn’t resigned. She continues to lead her

life while pursuing treatment at Lakes Region General Hospital. In addition to her standard-of-care treatment, Biggs is turning the table on her cancer by enrolling in a clinical trial, thereby giving researchers more ammunition in the war against the disease.
