Glenn Holland is a lung cancer survivor. On February 28, he had a very severe coughing episode in the morning before going to work. He coughed up about a three or four-inch piece of bloody spit. Luckily, he looked at it in the garbage can before shutting it. From X-ray, they found something inside his lung's lower right lobe. It was about 2.5 CM, about the size of a golf ball. It took 6 weeks and 4 hospital systems to finally get the right diagnosis when he heard those 3 words no one wants to hear... ""YOU HAVE CANCER"". He underwent surgery. Doctors cut out the bottom part of his lung. Cancer had died from the Keytruda. He thought that without him participating in that, it may not have shown that this is a viable option for people. So he felt compelled to share this story on LinkedIn. He had chemotherapy afterwards. As alternative treatment, he took organic lemon zest in ozone-infused water every day. He even cut out the dairy and red meat, and exercised regularly. Another thing he used was cannabis oil. Lucky for him, he lived in an area where he had choices. He was able to be enrolled in a Keytruda clinical trial and 4 years later, he is NED (No Evidence of Disease). He says, "So for cancer patients, everybody is different. Everybody is an individual, and everybody has their residence and frequency inside them. It would help if you found which one works for you and which one resonates with you."

Brendan has a conversation with Deirdre Staunton about her battle with lung cancer and her fundraising campaign!

Shriya Sood is a caregiver to her father, who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on 7 April 2021. She is 24 years old and a doctor by profession. He was a chronic smoker. We have to understand that we are on this journey, and being on the journey now, I can say that cancer is a disease just like any other disease. We have to change the mindset of people that cancer is not the end, it is curable, and people survive. She believes that a caregiver should create a positive environment around the patient.

MaryAnn Bradley is a Lung Cancer Survivor and Patient advocate. Initially, she had pain in the left side of her neck. She took some medications, but the pain was not relieved. It was diagnosed as cardiac disease initially, but later on further tests, Lung Cancer was detected. She underwent Right Upper Lobectomy as a part of the treatment. She had an excellent support system throughout the journey. She, along with her friend, started "Canadian Lung Cancer Advocacy", and so far, they have 289 members in their group. She says smoking is not always associated with Lung Cancer. This stigma must be removed entirely through awareness.

Survivor’s guilt is accepted as a common reaction to surviving tragic and traumatic events like war, accidents and disasters. But what we are starting to learn is that survivor's guilt is also common in people with cancer during and after treatment and lung cancer patients in particular. Our guests are cancer survivor Michael Levin, Tara Perloff of the Lung Cancer Alliance and Dr. Megan Shen of Weill Cornell Medicine.
