(FELDMAN)
I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH LUNG CANCER FOR FOUR YEARS AND WANT PATIENTS TO BENEFIT FROM MY EXPERIENCE. THERE ARE TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR. FIRST, WHAT TYPE OF CANCER YOU HAVE AND ABOUT TESTING YOUR CANCER FOR BIOMARKERS, WHICH CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR TUMOR’S GENETIC MAKEUP. NEXT, ASK ABOUT TREATMENT OPTIONS. THERE MAY BE A TREATMENT THAT IS DIRECTED TOWARDSYOUR TYPE OF CANCER OR YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR A CLINICAL TRIAL OF AN EXPERIMENTAL DRUG.
