Meet Cori

When I was first diagnosed, I felt alone and completely overwhelmed. Lung cancer statistics were terrifying and I was struggling to move forward into such an uncertain future.

Joining the ALK Positive support group changed everything for me. I was able to meet others who could understand uniquely what I was going through- from weird side effects of treatments to the challenges of living with cancer. The support group helped empower me in a way that nothing else has. I am so grateful for my ALK Positive family.
