LUNGevity thanks Emily Daniels for sharing her story with Dave Price

{ EMILY’S STORY }

Emily Daniels was just 32 years old when she was first diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) while 33 weeks pregnant with her second child, Brady. Although initially terrified about her circumstances, Emily found hope after her doctor spoke to her about biomarker testing. Thanks to that life-saving intervention, she was able to receive targeted treatment allowing her the chance to live a relatively normal life. Today, Emily participates in the LUNGevity Inhale for Life: Biomarker Testing Campaign. The social media video series encourages people diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer to ask their doctor about biomarker testing when they’re diagnosed or experience a recurrence. She credits biomarker testing as an essential part of her survival, and she hopes to inspire others to discuss it with their care team. I n l ov i ng m e m o ry o f P at r i c i a S t e r n

A message from Nancy Cohen

Today we celebrate and honor both the people and the science that together are so much a part of LUNGevity’s mission. To our family and friends who have donated so generously, your support and commitment to this cause mean everything to us. The research that the talented scientists and physicians are doing with grants from LUNGevity will hopefully benefit those of us who are patients now, but also those who come after. As we know, anyone with lungs can get lung cancer, so better screening, better treatments and finding ways to live longer and with a better quality of life are all crucial.

So many people worked hard to make today’s event possible — I would like to personally thank Becky Bull, Carol Perline and Cecili Weber for their dedication and tireless efforts. A special thanks to our honoree Jill Feldman — for introducing me to LUNGevity, to Lisa Zarov for introducing me to Jill, and to you and all of my lung cancer sisters — you are my silver linings.
