Our common denominator is lungs. We are now advocates,and serving as examples to show life doesn’t end with a cancer diagnosis. We are living proof that research prolong life with stage IV cancer and provide a decent quality of life...1/2
On World Cancer Day I am doing the pretesting for my 4th phase I clinical trial. Medical research has allowed me to live with stage IV lung cancer for FIFTEEN years and counting.#WorldCancerDay#lcsm
.@JDayGolf’s mother, like @miguelnbc’s, was diagnosed with lung cancer after living a healthy lifestyle. For their caregivers, understanding the disease and just how deadly it often is, is also terrifying.
Today is my 6 year cancerversary thanks to the power of RESEARCH. I was diagnosed Dec 2013 with stage IV EGFR+ #lungcancer that had spread to my brain and bones.
Today, I climbed a Mayan pyramid in Coba, Mexico. @EGFRResisters#lcam#ResearchMatters#livingwithlungcancer
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and the disease is the biggest cancer-killer among men and women.
@tvkatesnow met up with Jill Feldman, who lost two grandparents and both parents to the disease. Feldman is a nonsmoker, but at 39, she received the news she was dreading.
Thank you @TODAYshow for shining a light on lung cancer. Your story/respected voice about the #1 cancer killer, that is as @craigmelvin says, 'woefully' underfunded, was perfect! TY @tvkatesnow @CarterMcKay5 @hodakotb@cemckay#LCSM#LCAM https://t.co/3nSvc72Yxi
"Education is our ticket to the future, and it’s what survives us when what’s learned, has been forgotten. Despite all of the treatments I’ve taken to fight my disease, teaching has been the most therapeutic."📚✏️ Read more about Stephen's journey as an educator below! @edu_post
"Research and anecdotal data show that lung cancer patients receive less support from their friends and neighbors than those with other cancers, making their disease more difficult to bear." #LCSM
I've often wondered how physician care and/or conversation in cases of lung cancer varies between smokers & non-smokers. This article from the @washingtonpost explores the culture of blame in the medical community: https://t.co/97sqUQrPUb
Stephen recently had the chance to chat with @readersdigest's @JenBabakhan about his journey to being diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and why he's committed to changing people's assumptions about the disease. Read more below! #beatlungcancer https://t.co/LnUkKiWEnd
Low-dose CT scans can reduce lung cancer mortality significantly yet only about 3% of those who qualify for screening actually get the test. Learn more about #lungcancer screening during #CancerScreenWeek#LCSM
We’ve teamed up with @genentech, @SU2C & @rally_health to kick off #CancerScreenWeek & raise awareness of the potentially lifesaving benefits of #cancer screening. Learn more: https://t.co/NjbbJ9PQh0

Progress in #lungcancer awareness--compare Google of "lung cancer people" 2018 (left) vs 2014 (right). 2014 image is dying patients, diseased lungs, and cigarettes. 2018 image has more smiling people living life, scans, and almost no smoking. HOPE! #LCSM#LCAM#nostigma
