Art, birds, books, dark chocolate, and the beach give me joy and sanity. Living with EGFR/T790 stage 4 lung cancer since 2011!

“We probably should be screening a larger population, because we’re finding it if you look at these different groups,” www.nbcnews.com/health/cance... #LungCancer #lcsm #cancer
These women were diagnosed with lung cancer. They weren't eligible for screening.
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine found that 65% of their lung cancer patients weren't eligible for screening. They were likelier to be female, Asian American or nonsmokers.

thepatientstory.com/patient-stor... The patient story went deep with me. Perhaps the whole voiceover and stock video (it’s obviously not me fondling their shoulder in the video, for example) isn’t the format I was expecting but Stephanie knows her audience way better than me.

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

This is achingly beautiful and almost too painful to read in places (but you still should). The cruelty of cancer, the longing to be with your children — and the twist of fate, being RFK Jr’s cousin as he unwinds U.S. health research.

Ashley was a 37-year-old mother of two who just died as a result of #LungCancer. She deserved better. We all do. Why did our American government pull all Lung Cancer funding? Maybe Congress and POTUS can explain it to her children.

Life-saving treatments don’t happen by chance -they’re built through relentless research. We’re grateful for physician-researchers like Dr Christine Lovly who push science forward.

Did you know only 1 in 10 people at higher risk for #lungcancer get screened? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. If caught early, lung cancer can be treated and survival rates can dramatically improve.
