Telling people you have cancer is one of the worst parts. It makes it real in those early days when you are only coming to terms yourself.
Probably telling the kids is the worst convo of all. Appreciate this conversation w/ @younglungcancer.bsky.social as part of @oncogenecancer.bsky.social #LCSM

Imagine being 34, living with stage IV lung cancer, and raising two little boys who just want to be kids.
Ashley isn’t just navigating her diagnosis.. she’s working every day to protect their sense of normal.
What helps her? Therapy and a shift in perspective.. 🤍

Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!
