Three Interviews and a Fundraiser

I've had several recent opportunities to share my lung cancer story and to advocate for more research funding.  It just happened that these three interviews were released so close together that I am sharing all with you in one post.

Team Draft Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge

I took the challenge this year.  I've been fundraising for Lung Cancer Colorado Fund to support the groundbreaking lung cancer research and treatment developments at the University of Colorado Lung Cancer program.  I earned the chance to go to the Pro Bowl to experience the events while I share my lung cancer story and advocate for awareness and lung cancer research funding.  Click HERE or the Pro Bowl logo to see a Team Draft video about my fundraiser.
 

You can help me reach my $50,000 fundraising goal .  Click HERE or the donate button to submit a tax deductible donation today. Donations can be made through Super Bowl Sunday, February 2, 2020. 
            

Living Lives with Lung Cancer website interview

LLwLC is a website focusing on lung cancer patients and survivors living and thriving in spite of their diagnosis.  I'm lucky enough to be one of the first to be interviewed.  I can't wait to see and read upcoming inspirational stories from fellow lung cancer patients.

Cincinnati radio/podcast interview

Melissa and I recorded this interview in November 2019.  I think it was originally an hour and ten or twenty minutes long.  The Medical Apocalypse doesn't really have a Cliff's Notes version.  Melissa did a wonderful job editing that down for the show.  you can hear the interview HERE or click this video.

Rollercoasters

Life with lung cancer is a rollercoaster.  But for me,  I've been on two or more different rides at the same time since my first major medical diagnosis of stage IV lung cancer in 2015.  With so much going on at once, I seemed to have tended to one ride while another ride was taking over my life, health and emotions.  And this all was happening without me recognizing that anxieties and depression had engulfed my thoughts, my physical being and my normally positive outlook on life.

I knew to keep my head on a swivel at construction job sites and while I delivered mail, working around traffic.  It recently came to light that I need to keep my head on a swivel in my medical life as well as my personal and  mental health lives as well.

HERE  is my latest article, Rollercoasters,  for lungcancer.netwww.lungcancer.net.
