Cancer eats your soul. I’ve lived with active cancer managed with meds and targeted rad for 4 years. By onc standards I’m a success.And I do cherish being among the living but am painfully aware of the financial and emotional cost to my family. #cancer_eats_your_soul #lungcancer

Last week's MRI shows small but evident brain tumor growth. Getting targeted (SRS) radiation next week. Not thrilled but not overly concerned. I've had targeted radiation 6 times over the previous 4 years, mostly to my skeleton. #lungcancer #nsclc_egfr

Today is my birthday 🎸64 🎼. It’s also the 4 year anniversary of my lung cancer diagnosis. I’m alive due to new targeted medicines, a great med team and most importantly the love and support of my wife Sherry, family and friends. #lungcancer #NSCLC #EGFR #NIH #precision_medicine
