Story
At Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, it is our mission to ensure everyone diagnosed with lung cancer can live well with the disease for as long as possible.
For the past three decades, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has been the driving force behind lung cancer research, investing millions of pounds into the early detection of the disease. We have done this, and will continue to do this, because we know if lung cancer is caught early, curative treatment is possible.
My name is Maria Elliott I have atage4 NSCLC Egfr Exon19. A complete shock but from diagnosis I was given 12 mths with treatment and 18 months with a TKI magic medicine 💊 osimertinib and here I am still here 3 years later. I decided to do the 1 mile a day for awareness and in memory of two very dear friends who are no longer here. I miss my friends. They both have helped so many people so this is my way of helping others too in their memory. Thank you 🙏
