EDIT: ama is over but don’t hesitate to add them. I’m always on reddit so I will most likely answer. Thank you for the outpouring of love.

I am living with Stage 4 (technically terminal) ALK+ Non Small Cell Adenocarcinoma (sounds like a Harry Potter spell doesn’t it?). I am in my 30s, have never smoked and lead an ultra healthy life. I have 2 very small children.

No topic too weird. How I deal with a terminal diagnosis, how I advocate for myself with doctors who say that “there is no intent to cure” to parenting babies while on borrowed time.

Ask me anything!

This is me being featured in the ALK+ awareness campaign for Lung Cancer Awareness Month: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnDwVnjdUR/?igsh=MXdtNGF6MDd6MGlzcA==
