Telling people you have cancer is one of the worst parts. It makes it real in those early days when you are only coming to terms yourself. Probably telling the kids is the worst convo of all. Appreciate this conversation w/ @younglungcancer.bsky.social as part of @oncogenecancer.bsky.social #LCSM

Imagine being 34, living with stage IV lung cancer, and raising two little boys who just want to be kids. Ashley isn’t just navigating her diagnosis.. she’s working every day to protect their sense of normal. What helps her? Therapy and a shift in perspective.. 🤍 #lcsm #lungcancer #cancervlog

In 2021 I assumed my cough was from allergies & my chest pressure was work stress. It was stage 4 #lungcancer. An x-ray & biomarker testing saved my life. Had no idea that anyone can get lung cancer. 📺 interview from @younglungcancer.bsky.social 👉https://youtu.be/S50UEv81kS0?si=rixipm5FYbvOmpNx 🤍

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!

This is what stage 4 cancer looks like! Boarding (teaching my 10 yo & niece) for a final time before I start a chemo to keep me alive until my body can’t tolerate or resistance or I die. Today a final tattoo for my baby. #stage4needsmore #cansky #younglungcancer @younglungcancer.bsky.social

Glad this is getting traction..however, want to clarify, Linda didn’t ignore symptoms. She went to her PCP, urgent care, ER MULTIPLE TIMES over months and months. A CT scan was not ordered until she filed a complaint. #cancer #lungcancer #lcsm @ladbible.bsky.social

When our co-founder @yvonnediaz.bsky.social noticed a cough in April 2021, she assumed she had developed allergies. It turned out to be stage 4, ALK+ #lungcancer. Thanks to research, biomarker testing, an amazing lung cancer community & hope, she’s embracing life. @younglungcancer.bsky.social

I’m alive today because of a targeted form of oral chemotherapy called thyroid kinase inhibitors. While they’re more tolerable, there’s no break and there are still many side effects. One of my least favorites as a writer is peripheral neuropathy in my hands. It took me 10 minutes to type this.
