Here’s how this helps.

Simply put, the more we know about the lung cancer stories of people like you, the better we can direct our policy and awareness activities.

Plus, many people with lung cancer—and their caregivers and loved ones—have truly inspiring stories that can motivate and encourage others. (Be assured, though, that we will never make your details or your name public without your permission.)

Here are a few “story starters.”

For patients/survivors:

• How has lung cancer affected you?
• What are some of the challenges you’ve faced in your journey with lung cancer?
• What words of wisdom would you give to a newly diagnosed patient?

For caregivers/family members:

• How did you learn about your loved one’s lung cancer?
• What are some of the challenges for you as a caregiver?
• What advice would you give to a new caregiver?
