“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 – at Philadelphia, PA

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 – at Philadelphia, PA
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 – at Philadelphia, PA
