It is so sad that as soon as you say to somebody you’ve got lung cancer, they still don’t know, they think you’re a smoker. Whether you smoked or not actually makes no difference to how people see you as a person. Participant 24
I know it affected my parents quite a bit at the beginning. You know to hear that your daughter has lung cancer at the age of 41. Participant 3
Well, my big thing would be that they approve medications a lot quicker than they do for people like myself with a gene mutation. Participant 31
I think that the dealing with the side effects of the treatment has really had a big impact on the quality of my life. On my family, my partner in particular, has taken on a much more of a carer’s role. Participant 60
