Lungevity "Breathe Deep DFW" Lung Cancer Walk 2011

Here is my FIRST public speech as an adult, and I was very nervous. The anxiety was worth it though for such a great cause. I didn't really follow my script, but it all worked out. Thanks for the support! :)

you said that there are alot of things coming out to make this more of a chronic disease instead of a death sentence, what kind of things were you refering too?

@woo2fly18 - Targeted Therapy drugs: cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsh­eet/Therapy/targeted - The one that I take in particular, that works well with Adenocarcinoma (non-small cell) with the EGFR mutation, is Tarceva.

Wow! My father is taking tarceva aswell,so far only a rash but minor! His pain in his chest has gone away also. This will be his 4th week and things look good. You have given him much hope with your inspiration and bright outlook on life,

Thank you for sharing :)
