🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨

We’re excited to officially launch our Clinical Trials Navigation Page — a new resource designed to help patients, caregivers, and families explore clinical trial opportunities with confidence.

🔗 https://t.co/E7PQRORBfF

Clinical trials play a critical role in advancing new treatments and improving outcomes for those impacted by lung cancer. This new page connects you to valuable information and helps simplify the process of finding trials that may be right for you.

At LiveLung, we’re committed to bringing together patients, caregivers, providers, and researchers to highlight the hope and progress happening every day in lung cancer research. 🤍 Because access to information is access to possibility!

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate women making a difference in mental health and cancer care—like Dr. Lisa A. Rainwater, PhD, MA (couns), LCMHC, LPC, CCMHC, CT, CCTP. As a skilled counselor and therapist, Dr. Rainwater supports patients, caregivers, and families navigating the challenges of illness, trauma, and grief, helping them build resilience, find meaning, and reclaim hope.

Cancer is worse than ruthless; it’s indifferent. It kills anything in its path unless we detect and kill it first.

This Women’s History Month, we recognize women leading innovation in lung cancer care—like Dr. Misty Dawn Shields, MD, PhD, a thoracic medical oncologist whose work is advancing precision medicine and clinical trials for lung cancer. Driven by the personal loss of her father to small-cell lung cancer, Dr. Shields has dedicated her career to improving outcomes through research, advocacy, and guideline leadership. Her contributions are shaping the future of lung cancer treatment and care.

-Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., after smoking.
-Long-term exposure increases your risk, especially for smokers.
-There are no immediate symptoms — testing is the only way to know your exposure.

@LauraJBook won't name names, but its good practice to test-call helplines and hotlines to see if they are actually helping the patients they claim to be helping.

[Katie Brown @brownbeansprout]

Encouraged every CEO on this meeting to CALL their advertised cancer helplines & the helplines/hotlines of those orgs that u are giving $ grants for. SEE for yourself & end your partnerships/grants immediately that do this. Patients deserve better.
