Our community mourns the loss of Chad, who lived with RET+ lung cancer for 2.5 years. He loved deeply, lifted others and faced every setback with courage. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder: we still have a long way to go. Chad deserved more time. #LungCancerAwareness

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.. 🤍

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.

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!
