Lung Cancer Voices of Hope
When you or someone you love is diagnosed with lung cancer, there’s a lot of uncertainty – and a lot of questions. Lung Cancer Voices of Hope is a podcast from LUNGevity Foundation, hosted by Ann Steagall, an oncology nurse and head of Patient Services at LUNGevity, and Dr. Misty Shields, a thoracic medical oncologist who lost her dad to lung cancer when she was just 15. Each episode brings together someone living with lung cancer and a leading expert in care to discuss a specific topic, from care options to managing side effects to understanding testing, offering both clinical insight and patient perspective. If you or a loved one is living with lung cancer, this show is here to help you make more informed decisions and feel less alone in the process. New episodes monthly.
