Sara-Jane, diagnosed with stage IV RET positive NSCLC in 2010
Diagnosed with Stage IV NSCLC in Oct 2010, I was certain I would not live to see my oldest graduate from sixth grade. However, 11 years and many treatment modalities later, I will soon watch Katie graduate from college and see my youngest, Elena, finally get to go off to UCLA after a year of remote learning from her bedroom! I've had it all, chemo, radiation, immunotherapy, surgery and since 2017 a targeted therapy known as Selpercatinib which has done a great job keeping my cancer at bay. I've seen progress in the lung cancer field that I never could have imagined in 2010. I'm thankful for each day. Research has saved my life and I could not be more grateful.
