Finding Hope With Inoperable Lung Cancer

What we are investigating is the combination of technological advances and pharmaceuticals to treat inoperable lung cancer.

A positive outlook and can-do attitude go a long way in helping to achieve a better outcome.

Lung cancer is a very lonely cancer.

The best thing my friends and family did for me was to love and support me by showing up, making a phone call, coming by to visit, or taking me to lunch.

It’s vitally important for every patient diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer to get comprehensive genomic testing. These tests tell your oncologist the best treatment option for you to have success.

I started seeing a therapist for the first time in my life. I thought at first, I could handle this without professional help, but I couldn’t. Seeing a therapist has helped.

Once you have found your oncologist and your whole cancer support team, and you know you have a plan of attack to treat your cancer, most people feel better.

Even with all the side effects, medications, and doctor visits, I think it’s important for me mentally to maintain as much of a normal lifestyle as I possibly can. It’s good for me as well as my family.

If you’re facing a diagnosis of inoperable lung cancer, it’s important to talk to your clinical team about how you’re coping. Ask for help if you need it. What support do you have? What support do you need?
