I went to my GP feeling breathless. A few weeks after diff tests, I was told it was stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer.
The diagnosis hit me & my family hard. It’s still a lot & hard not to think about it every day. But I’m doing the things I love again & trying not to let cancer take over my life. #LCSM

Diagnosed with stage 4 EGFR+ #lungcancer at 24. She died this September aged 28. Shared with her family’s blessing.
Her only early sign was a crackle in her chest at night. She felt well. Months of tests followed before she heard the word “cancer.”

By the time Jade was diagnosed with ALK+ #lungcancer, she’d been visiting her GP for four years with symptoms no one linked to lung cancer.
If you’ve had a persistent cough, hoarseness or tiredness that won’t go away - don’t ignore it. Anyone can get lung cancer. 💟

Julia has been living with stage 4 ROS1+ #lungcancer for almost 10 yrs.
It started with what she thought was a chest infection, then pneumonia put her in ICU for 8 days. She’d also had shoulder pain for months, which she put down to sleeping awkwardly. She didn’t know it could be a symptom. #LCSM

Emma’s first sign of #lungcancer was numbness in her fingers. She was pregnant with her second son when the symptoms got worse & she was admitted to hospital.
Tests eventually found stage 4 ALK-positive lung cancer that had spread to her brain.
