Angus Pratt was unforgettable - his large white ribbon, red toque and dry humour lit up every many conferences & events. After navigating breast cancer as a man & later EGFR LC, he found a real kinship with the #lungcancer community. He leaves a big mark on our hearts. #LCSM

The 2nd part of my interview with @yvonnediaz.bsky.social of @oncogenecancer.bsky.social

In this part, I discuss my advocacy work, especially my work with Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance.

We also talk about who inspired me to become a patient advocate, Cameron Millar

Logan, diagnosed with stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer age 32, thought he was protecting his son until this moment.

Be sure to watch the full interview to learn about how hard it was to get diagnosed and how he’s supporting others.

#BiomarkerTesting has changed everything in #lungcancer. It gives those in our community the chance to receive the right treatment at the right moment.

It's why @thermofishersci.bsky.social José Luis Costa believes in continued innovation.

Progress in #lungcancer happens when we refuse to accept today’s limits as tomorrow’s reality.

As Nuvalent’s Dr Henry Pelish reminds us — let’s keep pushing science’s limits.

Lung cancer causes more deaths than colon, breast & prostate cancers combined. Early detection saves lives.

If you're 50–80 with a smoking history, ask your doctor about a low-dose CT lung screening. bit.ly/487gjDn

#Biomarkertesting helps people with #lungcancer get the right treatment at the right time. Yet too many still miss out.

This video created w @thermofishersci.bsky.social is a great resource for anyone diagnosed.

It’s a simple wish: to see your child grow up. But for people with ALK+ lung cancer, like Amanda, Jenna, Carla, and Hope, there are no guarantees. You can help give them more precious years with their kids by supporting research.

What would you give for more time?

Not all #lungcancer is the same - and neither should be our treatments. Today, we can personalize care to each person's unique biology.

As Dr Lauren Byers @mdanderson.bsky.social highlights, innovation is making precision care a reality. Let’s keep pushing for more.

Behind a young adult facing #lungcancer, there’s often someone holding them up. For @Janclarkgirls, whose daughter Amy was diagnosed at 20, success means seeing Amy work, travel, hike & more. To every care partner who carries someone this, we see you. #StoriesOfLungCancer #LCAM25

What brings Dr Melinda Hsu hope? Seeing researchers, clinicians & advocates advance survivorship science, creating innovative ways to improve long-term quality of life for people living with #lungcancer.

Every step forward brings hope.

A @uwhealth.bsky.social story shares the importance of early detection for lung cancer. Last year, Dr. Andrea Axtell performed a life-saving procedure on a patient whose lung cancer was detected early. #ExceptionalPeople #ExtraordinaryResults go.wisc.edu/wqo9g3

Every advance in #lungcancer research is more than data - it’s hope for patients and families.

Mark Reale of Takeda reminds us that breakthroughs are measured in the lives they touch.

Hope is the heart of research for people with #lungcancer.

It's why Dr Jessica Lin @massgeneralbrigham.bsky.social says, progress happens when we all come together to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Let's keep working together to keep hope & progress alive.

No two lung cancers are the same. We may each have lung cancer and be facing the same storm, but we each experience different waves, have different tools, unique experiences. There are many paths. Together we bring more light and hope.
One diagnosis. Five different paths.

@jillfeldman4.bsky.social @yvonnediaz.bsky.social Leah and Samantha remind us that #lungcancer isn't one story.

It's many. It's why we need more research.

It's why we need treatments to be ever more personalised.

Progress in #lungcancer doesn’t happen in isolation.

It takes industry, researchers, clinicians & patient advocates pushing forward together.

Annarita Egidi’s words remind us what can be achieved when we come together.

Katherine, from Houston, TX has been living a full life with ALK+ lung cancer for six years. As a participant in the Brightstar trial, research gave her more time to celebrate birthdays with loved ones—and more birthdays of her own. More Research= More Time. Donate: secure.qgiv.com/event/lcam25...

Hope carried Kathrin when she was diagnosed w stage 4 ALK #lungcancer age 44.

For more days. More memories. More moments with her son.

Today she focuses on the present, celebrates the good days & sets big goals for the future.
