Uncategorized 1 Minute

The cultural difference should be considered when developing guidelines. Also, it’s important for the volunteers to share about encouraging optimism, confidence and hope. https://lungcancer.net/living/volunteer/

I am diagnosed advanced Stage IV ROS1+ lung cancer 3.5 years ago at the age of 50 years old. Thanks for Targeted Therapy, my disease is under control. I am a cancer advocate to raise the awareness of lung cancer. Before I was sick, I was a professor in Mechanical Engineering.
