My Stage 4 Metastatic LUNG CANCER Diagnosis "I Couldn't Catch My BREATH!"

Steven was a busy construction inspector when fatigue, breathlessness, and shoulder pain led to a stage 4 metastatic lung cancer diagnosis with an EGFR exon 19 deletion. In this video, he shares what it was like navigating the ER visit that changed everything, starting treatment with a targeted therapy alongside a chemotherapy, and how his scans have changed over nine months of treatment.
