Shared Stories

I have a good outcome story. On April 27, 1994, I had a car accident. I complained about chest pain caused by the seat belt. A CAT scan was taken and several nodules were spotted.

In 2019, my lower left lung was removed as it had a cancerous spot.

Growing up with asthma throughout my life has made playing sports a challenge.

It all started when I visited the doctor due to a persistent sore throat and a slight discomfort in the upper part of my chest, just above my heart. Since I regularly go to the gym, it might be related to lifting weights.

My husband was diagnosed in June 2021 with stage 4b non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR exon 20 insertion factor.

I'm 32 years old, and when I was about 10, I realized I was different from all my friends.

Back in 2019, I was diagnosed with stage 2B lung cancer. In 2020, I had a lobectomy in my lower right lung. The surgeon removed the lower half of my right lung.

I am blessed and grateful for a new breath of life. I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis over 25 years ago, destroying my lungs over time.

I am a pulmonary fibrosis patient. I'm on oxygen 24/7.

Hi, my name is Jarell. I was out of work for nearly two weeks, and this was the worst health scare of my life. 

I never had asthma or any respiratory issues until June 7th, 2023, when I was outside for roughly 40 minutes during the Canadian wildfire smoke over NYC.

My grandfather suddenly passed away a few years back in India due to COPD.

In February 2012, I was living in Seoul. I felt sick and was told I had pneumonia and the flu. After being hospitalized with hyponatremia, many tests were done. 

I stopped smoking overnight in 2011 during a lung cancer diagnosis that turned out to be pneumonia.

I’ve had asthma since I was only 12 years old.
