About Us

As lung cancer survivors and families, we remember too well how devastating it is when you are told you have cancer. To make thing worse, you have to make a slew of critical decisions, especially the initial treatment plan. However, if you are not expert in lung cancer, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to acquire essential yet sufficient information and make your right choices. The mission of this organization is to provide such high quality resource guide, so a lay person can quickly and easily master these information, and achieve the best possible outcome.     First, as the input from both the doctors and survivors are important for a patient's best outcome, we have uniquely assembled a team of multiparties to develop this guide. The team is led by Dr. Mike O. Colvin (Boston, Ma) and they include expert doctors, researchers, long term survivors and caregivers.     Also, to be accurate and easy to use, we have rated information according to their importance, comprehensiveness, authoritativeness and uniqueness.     This site will be updated regularly and is open to all suggestions.     Director: Lee, Tina, 5 year-survivor, Philadelphia, PA;     Adviser: Gebers, Laura, Deborah Heart and Lung Center Scene of first group meeting on November 12, 2002.
