Lungevity is an amazing organization. The support that they offer survivors and caregivers far surpasses ANY organization out there. When I was diagnosed seven years ago, they were the only organization out there offering hope. They raise money for the much needed and underfunded research.

I was dxd with lung cancer in Oct 2008,a death sentence I believed,my mind was in turmoil,thought of losing my wife and daughter forever was just so difficult to bear.Family and friends helped me tremendously from the start and through my chemo and surgery.On the successful course of treatments,I still was in need of the emotional support that my family and friends provided previous,but my cancer situation was wearing a bit thin on their patience with me,as one of my friends put it "Eric you have had all your treatments,the cancer is now gone for good,now forget it and get on with your life".My cancer issues were upsetting them,and I couldnt really blame them for wanting the subject dropped. Surfing the net one day,looking for some good news stories regarding lung cancer,I stumbled onto a site called LUNGevity,I had found something very special,a new family of friends just waiting for me to join them to share friendship,their knowledge and experiences with lung cancer,to make me realise I would never be alone again having to deal with my problems with lung cancer.I can testify that LUNGevity has been and is my saving grace.

When I was dx'd almost three years ago, I read the stats for advanced lung cancer--3 to 5 yrs. I was devastated. All my family and friends were at a distance. In my search for info about my cancer, I was fortunate to find the Lungevity support community. It saved my life then and supported me through every crisis real or imagined every since. Hopefully, I am now a member who can offer the same to others. A primary message, we are not a number, we are an individual.

When my wife was diagnosed with lung cancer in March 2010 the family and myself were totaly ignorant and confused. My eldest daughter discovered the web site and since then I have had only proffessional and personal advice from all the members. Every posting was promptly answered on and advice or compassionate help offered. We ar all in the same situation and Lungivity Foundation has proved its worth with all the help and also the reports of the research taking place to try and eradicate or better treat this terrible disease. My wife has passed away but I will continue visiting the site. Once again thank you or everything you did for me and the family
