LUNGevity has expanded the vital resources we provide to the lung cancer community by launching LUNGevity’s Caregiver Resource Center.
The Caregiver Resource Center arms caregivers with information on what to expect after a lung cancer diagnosis; what questions to ask and issues to consider; how to help be a healthcare advocate for the patient; ways to take care of themselves and resources available.
Lung cancer caregivers are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, neighbors and family friends of all ages. In most cases, they have no medical background. The caregiver becomes the field manager for the lung cancer patient without the knowledge or tools to effectively fulfill that role. We are proud to be able to offer these resources to help them cope with caring for someone affected by this deadly disease.
LUNGevity's Caregiver Contest WinnerMeet an exceptional caregiver, Cyndi Siegfried, who taught herself how to research her husband’s cancer, clinical trials, treatments, and the best doctors and hospitals - and then wrote a book about it.
Join us for a live panel discussion with four experts on the timely issue of molecular testing in
advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Wednesday, Feb. 22, 6:30 PM Eastern/3:30 PM Pacific
