There are basket trials underway looking at that. It may take a while and lots of education before the general public recognizes that, though, and then there is always the issue of funding and making sure the money is actually going where it can be best used. One of my goals for this month, however, is making sure that people recognize that anyone can get lung cancer. I didn't know this, and it was a lesson I had to learn the hard way.Lil-Lytninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853589591693544260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16194939.post-24730729611707033692015-11-01T10:22:02.643-05:002015-11-01T10:22:02.643-05:00What rings so true to me about this is the basic n...What rings so true to me about this is the basic nature of Stage 4. doesn't matter whether it's lung, colon, breast. It's breathtaking and we need to move FAST in the direction of recognizing the intersection, possible connections of the disease. I loved the honest story. Life changes in one split moment and then you go on. I keep thinking that if we connected instead of saying, October, breast cancer, November lung cancer we would be ahead. It's a weird form of segregation that works to little benefit. Patients need to say that, yes? N0?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
