Patient Voices Podcast
No one expects to hear the words “lung cancer” — especially not when you're young and have none of the typical risk factors. Yet when it happens, you're suddenly asked to make complex decisions at a time when you may feel vulnerable and ill-equipped.
That’s why we created The Empowerment Podcast — a series made specifically for people and loved ones navigating an oncogene-driven lung cancer diagnosis.
Whether you're trying to make sense of a new diagnosis, understand biomarker testing, be more confident in making decisions with your care team, or simply feel less alone, this series is for you. We share personal stories of resilience, clarity, and hope — and importantly help break down complicated topics and feelings, and highlight the latest research.
From navigating shared decision-making to hearing directly from those who’ve walked this path, our goal is simple: to help you feel informed, empowered, and inspired.
We may not be able to take away the diagnosis — but we can offer you something real to hold on to: knowledge, hope and the voices of a community that truly understands.
