@GOPLeader No they are not. It’s called democracy and no less than Benjamin Franklin said our system is messy but it’s the only one we have.

63 million Americans put President Trump in office. Now 231 Washington Democrats are trying to reverse the results of the 2016 election.

@LungCancer_HU Well said.#lung_cancer #tagrisso_not_effective

"Cancer can steal my energy, my strength, my stamina, and ultimately my life, but it cannot take my faith, my spirit, my determination, or my peace. I won’t let it.” #lcsm lungcancer.net/?p=8687

@LungCancer_HU Sometimes a little self denial is a good thing.

@LungCancer_HU Agreed it’s very important for re-establishing a new normal. For me it’s picking up a camera, I was a serious amateur before my diagnosis.

“On the outside I look like a normal, healthy person. I'm out walking my dog and finishing 5Ks. I don't fit the perception of a stage IV, terminal cancer patient.” #lcsm lungcancer.net/?p=9088

Agreed it’s frustrating and I navigate the system pretty well. Imagine what it’s like for a patient that is alone and overwhelmed by the unnecessary BS. #lungcancer #healthcare

@LungCancer_HU Yes. And don’t forget to advocate for yourself

@LungCancer_HU My initial lung cancer diagnosis was grim, metastatic involving pelvis and brain was hoping for a year. It’s been 4. But small lesions pop up about every 9 months in spite of a targeted med so get SRS rad. #lungcancer #cancerwarrior #stillstanding

“I had to change my goal from getting rid of the cancer in my body to learning how to live with it long term.” lungcancer.net/?p=8745

Cancer eats your soul. I’ve lived with active cancer managed with meds and targeted rad for 4+ years. By onc standards I’m a success.And I do cherish being among the living but am painfully aware of the financial and emotional cost to my family. #cancer_eats_your_soul #lungcancer

Last week's MRI shows small but evident brain tumor growth. Getting targeted (SRS) radiation next week. Not thrilled but not overly concerned. I've had targeted radiation 6 times over the previous 4 years, mostly to my skeleton. #lungcancer #nsclc_egfr

Today is my birthday 🎸64 🎼. It’s also the 4 year anniversary of my lung cancer diagnosis. I’m alive due to new targeted medicines, a great med team and most importantly the love and support of my wife Sherry, family and friends. #lungcancer #NSCLC #EGFR #NIH #precision_medicine

If you’re over 40 and have lungs just do it.
