Celebrated a 5 year and a 7 year anniversary from diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer this week in clinic with 2 diff patients, and also grieved with 2 others who both got way less than avg duration expected from a treatment. Heart wrenching. We must do better. #LCSM

#EddieRabbitt died 21 years ago today at the age of 56, just shy of one year after his lung cancer diagnosis. With recent advances in targeted therapy, he may have lived a lot longer. Unfortunately, #433aDay still die from this disease every day.
#EddieRabbitt died 21 years ago Tuesday. Born in Brooklyn, he grew up in New Jersey like I did. This urban cowboy not only became a major Country star: he also co-wrote this classic song @ElvisPresley made famous -- "Kentucky Rain."

For those of you grieving you will understand this. It's the simpliest things that bring back the waves of grief that take your breath away. Like when I opened this can today and noticed the best before date Feb.25, the day our daughter @Lizzieslungs passed. #grief #lungcancer

2019 NIH budget is $34.4 BILLION, only $355 million was budgeted specifically for lung cancer with 163,199 confirmed deaths, not estimated, in 2015 (over 100,000 more than 2nd deadliest cancer.) https://t.co/HC1k6o0nqu This is a PROBLEM!

We can't complain about being underfunded unless we are all willing to do something about it. This literally takes a minute and could lead to SIGNIFICANTLY more funding. #lcsm

Taking $6,000,000 away from the #1 cancer killer IS political! Ask your representatives to support restoring $20M in funding for the Lung Cancer Research Program in 2020 before the March 26 sign-on deadline. #LCSM #ResearchSavesLives #lungcancer

I’m just a daughter who lost her mom 2 lung cancer and is pissed it took her so quick. Dr. Stiles specializes in lung cancer research. cancers w/ lowest survival rates (ie lung & pancreas) currently receive little fed’l $ compared 2 other cancers. This is not a coincidence.
