Being diagnosed with lung cancer can be overwhelming. This book is here to help.
The ABCs of Lung Cancer for Patients and Advocates offers clear, compassionate guidance to help you find your footing in unfamiliar territory. Written by a mother-daughter team—one a longtime lung cancer survivor, the other a writer and advocate—this book breaks down complex information into bite-sized, easy-to-understand chapters.
Organized from A to Z, each chapter focuses on a topic that matters: Biomarker Testing. Clinical Trials. Hope. Palliative Care. Second Opinions. Stigma. Survivorship. And more.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting someone with lung cancer, or simply seeking to better understand this disease, The ABCs of Lung Cancer provides:
•Insight gained from more than a decade of patient advocacy
•Practical tips for navigating appointments, treatment decisions, and emotional ups and downs
•Personal stories from the authors and the lung cancer community
•Encouragement and empowerment at every turn
This is not a medical textbook. It's a deeply human guidebook—designed to inform, inspire, and help you move forward with clarity and courage.
