For the majority of young adults, a disease like lung cancer comes as a complete shock because most never even knew they were at risk. They do not qualify for early detection screening, so a high percentage of patients are diagnosed after the disease has already spread to other parts of the body and there is no cure. As team members with our own lung cancer stories, we understand from personal experience the extreme burden this diagnosis takes on younger patients in the prime of their lives. Our passion is providing them a space to speak their truth about their experiences and seek the tools they need to embrace this journey equipped to advocate for themselves and their loved ones.
Lung cancer is a disease with ONE name but it has MANY different faces that also includes young adults diagnosed before age 50.
