"You have Adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer,
Stage 4, it's Terminal!"
This is a moving and engaging account of Bill's perspectives as a lung cancer patient and clinical trial participant. He weaves his personal experiences together with a dramatic story of breakthrough targeted treatments for patients with terminal lung cancer.
Bill's account brings hope, inspiration, and important life lessons for patients, caregivers, doctors, other providers, and anyone working in the healthcare or life science industry.
Dr. Alice Shaw, M.D., Ph.D. Attending Physician in
Center of Thoracic Cancers at Mass General Brigham Hospital
¿Only one who has heard those crushing words, "You have six months to two years to live!" can understand its devastating impact on one's psychic.
For Bill, all travel plans were put on the proverbial "back burner" and sadly thrown into the trash-two years of hellacious chemo seemly nothing short of poison recked havoc throughout his body.
While lying on his sofa, too weak to climb the stairsteps to his bedroom, a voice from a lovely young lady on his T.V. quietly proclaimed; I have adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer, and it's melting away.
This led to a conversation with Dr. Alice Shaw and a chance for life.
With the introduction to the wonderful world of ALK drugs, he now follows his dreams of world travel while "Living with Terminal Lung Cancer."
The urge to see this big beautiful planet has returned as strong as ever as he calls to Connie, "Pack the bags!" Travel they have! All seven continents, including all 63 of our fantastic National Parks (including Pago Pago N.P.).
