I agree that cancer is portrayed very stereotypically in society, so here are some ways I think we can highlight the reality of cancer.

A recent experience has emphasized to me that we should live life to its fullest every single day.

At a cancer support group at my church, we sit together and share our cancer stories.

I never told my daughters what stage my lung cancer was. Was I being genuine?

Months after I was told I was in remission for stage 3B lung cancer, my "normal" shifted as the COVID-19 pandemic arrived.

This past holiday season made me realize that I feel a strong sense of fulfillment as a cancer survivor and caregiver.

When I received my CURE magazine last week, I was fascinated to see a red sticker on the cover indicating it was the lung cancer special edition.

Here's what you can be thankful for...

Every individual is unique in their own way.

Friendship means the world throughout a cancer experience.

I had to redefine the relationship with my mother during the most challenging of times.
