Can I share my non-small cell lung cancer story for research?

Thank you for sharing this opportunity with the community. Research participation can be a valuable way for patients to contribute to advancing treatment knowledge while sharing their experiences with others who understand the journey. For those considering participation, it's always wise to review the study details carefully and ensure the research aligns with your comfort level and availability. These types of studies can help researchers better understand patient experiences and potentially improve future care approaches.

I have stage 3 NSCLC. I did 35 rounds of radiation and 6 rounds of chemo. I was allergic to paxitaxil. It gave me nueropothy in my left foot. I just finished my immunotherapy taking dermluvamb which is INFINZI. I AM NOW UNDER ACTIVE SURVEILANCE. I HAD THE VERY BEST DOCTORS AT ANSHUTZ MEDICAL CENTER CANCER CARE UNIT IN Aurora Colorado.. I could never own the fact that I had cancer because my dad and my sister both died of cancer. It scared me to death. I pushed it out of my mind and I didn't succumb to the cancer. My moto was if it gets me down it will kill me so I stayed busy all the time. I am so grateful to my God and the Cancer Doctors I had. Research has really come a long way. I am blessed to be here and I wish all of you the very best. It's hard to know you have cancer but you can beat it

Erica, What Time I Am Afraid, from Bible Gateway. This helps me and I pray will also bless you. I am stage 4 and thankful that I have no fear for what comes next. God has been good to me. Psalm 56:3 — “What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Fear doesn’t always come with a roar. Sometimes, it tiptoes into the quiet places of your mind — in the doctor’s office, the midnight hours, or the unknown moments when life shifts without warning. Fear whispers lies that magnify uncertainty, but faith answers with a steady truth: “I will trust in Thee.” David, the psalmist, knew what fear felt like. He was hunted, betrayed, and surrounded by enemies. Yet in his trembling moments, he didn’t deny the fear — he redirected it. He chose to trust instead of tremble. God never said, “You will never be afraid.” He said, “When you are afraid, trust Me.” Faith is not pretending the storm isn’t raging — it’s remembering Who controls the winds and waves. The phrase “What time I am afraid” implies that fear will come, but it won’t last forever. It’s a moment, not a measure of your faith. Fear may knock, but trust answers the door. When fear tries to take the driver’s seat, remember: God’s presence goes before you. His promises are still true. His peace will guard your heart. Each time fear shows up, it’s an invitation to lean harder into faith — to say, “Lord, I don’t understand this, but I trust You anyway.” Imagine a small child waking in the night to thunder. The storm is loud, lightning flashes across the room — and fear rises. But the moment the child runs into the parent’s arms, the storm doesn’t stop… yet the fear fades. The presence of the parent changes everything. That’s exactly what trusting God does — it doesn’t erase the storm, but it reminds you that you’re not weathering it alone. When fear knocks, let faith answer the door — and watch fear flee because God is already there. “Lord, when fear tries to take over, I will choose to trust You because…” Let your words become a written reminder of faith that outlasts the moment of fear.
