Isabella is a patient friend who is doing IRONMAN Triathlon today in the middle of her active treatment. I wish her a smooth ride! Her extraordinary effort to raise lung cancer awareness and research fund is so inspirational. More on her amazing story: mskcc.convio.net/goto/IsabellaI… #lcsm

It is so shocking and unreal that in 2022, we are at risk of losing this basic human right for women in the US. Wake up time for all to vote in the middle term elections to stop such backward and dangerous moves in these important social issues.

What a beautiful moment in life only the research can enable - surviving the lung cancer to meet your grandkids. Thanks Laura Book for sharing and all your work in .EGFR Resisters supper group! #lcsm #cdmrp$60million

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! Tell the women you love that lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer and gets only a fraction of research funding in the US with very limited early screening and awareness. You can save life! #lcsm #MothersDay

Thanks to .@GO2Foundation, I attended the #voicesummit, the largest lung cancer fundraiser and advocacy event for the third year. I felt empowered along with other lung cancer advocates. Lung cancer has devastating impact to our lives especially to young women no smokers. #lcsm

August 1 is the World Lung Cancer Day and lung cancer is the number one killer of women nonsmokers. I am so inspired by my friend ⁦⁦⁦⁦Diane Legg⁩ , the ⁦LUNGSTRONG⁩ founder and her effort to ride her 10th PMC this month. #lcsm facebook.com/1640595642/pos…

Elaine Peng is a friend I met in UCA (United Chinese Americans) conference in 2018. She has worked tirelessly to advocate for mental health in Chinese American communities. I am so proud of her and admire her courage and leadership.

#LCSM I just learnt another friend in our town had lung cancer. Luckily she found it early by accident. We need better screening for non smoker women like Laura Greco and many in .EGFR Resisters.

I received my white ribbon from Jennifer moran last May during the .LUNGSTRONG 5K walk fundraiser Diane Legg founded. So grateful that we did this together. The White Ribbon Project™ has come a long way to help raise #lungcancer awareness in two years! #lcsm

November is the National lung cancer month. Lung cancer is so under funded and there is little screening to non smokers like me. Research saves life, so does the early screening. Anyone can get lung cancer. Tell your friends and family, call your legislators! #lcsm

I’m sharing an extraordinary effort by my patient friend Isabella Bike Breathe Believe with her Fred's Team to raise fund to support advance innovative cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. She is attending an Ironman race today with her family after nine lines of treatments. #lcam

We need more research and more awareness for lung cancer especially for nonsmoker women. Early screening saves life! We need more effective treatment options and my life depends on it! #lcam #lcsm

We need real change and kudos to all working on SRes863. Lives of many never smoker women including myself are forever changed by this dreadful disease. As the technology most advanced and wealthy country, US should do better. Early detection saves life! #lcsm #lungcancer

I have been asking for skipping the simulation myself at the MGH. It saves time/delay/the trip and the associated body pains during the long simulation for palliative radiation. Worthy of a discussion and thanks for bringing it up.
