Do you know my friend Kim Weineke? She has your same brand of cancer. And is doing well in that stage IV hellish way. Anyway, email me if you want to get connected. She is not quite as old as you. Marcy@rop.org

Hi Tori,

My name is Kathleen Engel and I am an editor at Health Monitor Network in Montvale, NJ. My company publishes guides on various health conditions that are distributed free to patients through doctors' offices. (You can see our site at healthmonitor.com.)

I would love to do a profile on you. If you'll send me an email address, I'd be happy to send you a PDF or two of our guides, so you can know what these look like.

Thanks, Tori. I do hope to hear from you.

Best,

Kathleen Engel

Hi Tori,

I read your blog and wanted to reach-out to see whether you would be open to a brief interview for Thought Catalog? I was moved by your resilience in the face of your disease and would love to include your voice in the article I’m writing on recent advances in lung cancer research thanks to immunotherapy. Your perspective would ground the piece in real-life experience, and would raise awareness around the importance of furthering cancer research.

I can be reached at atmoshiri@gmail.com.

Thanks so much,
Azadeh

Hello Tori,

I found your blog looking for advice and insights on lung cancer. Reading your blog, I know you're an incredibly brave person. I'm from India and I lost my father to lung cancer earlier this year. He was suffering from mediastinal tumor and at stage four. I know how important it is to document one's journey to others can draw inspirations and learn from a wide range of perspectives. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for you're doing such a wonderful job and becoming the paragon of grit and inspiration.

Susanta, you are too kind. I am only doing my best to live as full a life as I can. Reading other people's journeys has been vital to me, and so I am glad to offer that same sort of comfort to others. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. May he rest in peace.

Hi! I love your blog! I am currently beginning a project in which I compile the stories of female cancer patients and educate the students of my high school about the more personal aspects of cancer. This is for my Girl Scout Gold Award project. I’d really like to go into further detail over email. Could you email me and let me know if you would like to be a part of this? Thank you so much for having such an amazing and inspiring blog. My email is ella13burch@gmail.com. Thank you!
