Sylvie had back pain, shortness of breath & weight loss. She was told it was sciatica & sent home.
A scan finally showed a mass in her lung - it was stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer that had spread to her bones, liver, spine & lymph nodes.

I screen for #LungCancer annually. So does my kid sister. Our mother died as a result of LC treatment. Most LC is caught at an advanced stage. Catch it in time. #StayAlive #lcsm
Did you know only 1 in 10 people at higher risk for #lungcancer get screened? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. If caught early, lung cancer can be treated and survival rates can dramatically improve.

Reminiscing on last weekend's TCS NYC Marathon where Team LCRF showed up to represent the lung cancer community! This team has raised over $130,000 for research and we couldn't be more thankful for their efforts.

Sarah thought her #lungcancer symptoms were the menopause.
She was exhausted, dizzy and struggling with constant headaches. Even her neurologist thought it was menopause-related.
A CT head scan “just to rule anything out” found 6 brain mets. And in 2024, she was diagnosed with stage 4 EGFR+. #LCSM

#Lungcancer can affect anyone - even if it’s the last thing you’d expect. It doesn’t care about age, history or lifestyle.
Symptoms aren’t always obvious they can be subtle & not always respiratory related.
Don’t ignore signs that persist. Finding it early increases your options. #LCSM

🧵 Myth Busting Monday: “Vitamin supplements can help your immune system fight off viruses and bacteria.”
The idea that taking vitamin supplements can “boost” your immune system and help you fight infections has been around for decades. It feels intuitive but the science is far more nuanced.
