Living Well With Stage 4 ALK Lung Cancer
My ALK+ Stage 4 Cancer Journey
Living Well With Stage 4 ALK Lung Cancer
I have been living with Stage 4 ALK-positive lung cancer since 2016.
ALK-positive lung cancer is a rare condition, affecting just 5% of lung cancer patients. It typically occurs in otherwise healthy non-smokers, both men and women, with an average onset age of 51—the same age I was when diagnosed.
The ALK Positive organization is dedicated to eradicating this disease through research, while also enhancing the lives of those affected by providing education and support. This group has played a crucial role in saving my life and my arm.
I invite you to watch the embedded video about my journey with this cancer. If you are moved to give, please make a donation.
Thank you,
Lisa
