Thankful to meet our key opinion leaders for the first time. Patient urgency equates to nothing without ALK scientists, researchers and medical leaders coming together! ASCO 2022.

What happens when there’s not enough urgency or new developments in lung cancer to save lives? Patients and caregivers from a support group decide to do this...! @LUNGevity @GO2Foundation @IASLC @AmericanCancer #lcsm #lungcancer #targetedtherapy

I've wanted to say 'thank you' to those @genentech responsible for Alectinib for some time now. You see, without this med, I would have been long gone by now. I'm ALIVE. But rather just me saying it, here is fellow @ALKLungCancer friend, Amanda Sands, also saying it...

Go Upal Basu Roy and Anna Pugh of LUNGevity! Educating HERC that NGS testing is critical to some cancers (like NCSLC), yet not all cancers, is HUGE. Cancer Patient Groups Urge Oregon Committee to Soften Non-Coverage Stance on NGS Panels genomeweb.com/reimbursement/…

Advocacy never ends, it’s a long road. My Ros1 friend, Patty Watkins, says “It’s my observation [about advocacy] that my continuous swimming upstream is actually fueling my life and not draining it.” Patty never quits and refuels me to swim harder... lungcancer.net/stories/swimmi…

More research is needed to address the current trends of WHO is getting lung cancer. No longer should smoking be “the smoking gun”... sumo.ly/ZXdN

Bryce Olson “Sequence Me” speaks at the Biden Cancer Summit. To me, he’s “the face of genomic testing” — a powerful voice and living example how molecular testing saves lives.

That’s just it. Medicine makes enough progress with a disease that used to “take you” before you knew what hit. Now you “live”, almost “normally” and face your demise. I refuse to cower, but live even more each day. @ALKLungCancer

"My lifespan an unknown factor, it is up to me to take advantage of the remaining moments, to secure loose ends and socialize. I refuse to cower in a corner and allow a disease to control my mood or activities." -Rebecca Burg, "The Final Choice" #MTYSummer18
