PLEASE RT: I need help from the #lcsm community
@Aetna, pls approve my onc’s 2nd appeal for #selumetinib for the TRIM 24 BRAF fusion that is driving my #lungcancer progression. I have received 2 prior denials
What’s the use of #biomarker testing if I can’t get the drug I need🧵
I was dx with stage IV lung cancer on 6/1/17, just 5 years after retiring from baseball. Never smoking, there's no clear answer "why." My survival relies on research, and despite being the #1 cancer killer, LC is the least federally funded. This must change #endthestigma 🫁 @NIH
#UNC ALCSI had a white ribbon build today with @chrisdraft and The White Ribbon Project!! Thank you to everyone who helped cut, paint, and sign the ribbons! We love that @TheWRP4LC shares ribbons built with love and care to raise #lungcancerawareness. @heidi_onda@bjork5@UNC
.@AmLungCSI’ @alexandra_p_24 & @PriyankaSenth16 found >46,000 #lungcancer patients from 2010-2018 were 49 years old or younger & the majority of the cancers were diagnosed at stage IV. Strategies to increase early detection for younger patients are urgently needed #lcsm#WCLC2022
