Facing the Shock: Personal Stories of Youth, HER2, and Lung Cancer
<p>HOST:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Hildy Grossman CO-HOST:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Jordan Rich</p> <p>GUESTS: Kyle Concannon, MD, Samantha Murrell, Bianca Bye and Leah Phillips</p> <p>The face of lung cancer is changing. No longer viewed simply as a “smoker’s disease” that only impacts older adults, there is a rising and concerning trend of younger adults and non-smokers being diagnosed with advanced disease.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p>Our guests today have so much light to shine on this issue. In this powerhouse episode, we hear from Samantha Murrell, diagnosed with Stage 4 with a HER2 biomarker at age 37. She notes that her way of coping with her diagnosis was to learn everything possible about her disease. She tells how hope comes with new, cutting-edge drugs targeting HER2 because they allow her to live a full and active life.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Our guest, Leah Phillips, a mother of three young children, also was shocked by her diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer at 43. She tells how she joined Bianca Bye, who faced the advanced diagnosis and tragic loss of both parents, within months of each other, to lung cancer. Leah and Bianca joined forces to create the <i>Young Lung Cancer Initiative</i>. Oncologist, Dr. Kyle Concannon notes how these three resilient women are finding meaning in advocacy as they work to transform suffering into meaning by helping others. This is an unforgettable, action-driven look at hope, survival, and taking control.</p>

In Me or Around Me? Genetics vs. Environment in Lung Cancer
<p>HOST: Hildy Grossman, CO-HOST: Jordan Rich<br /> GUESTS: Lecia Sequist, MD and Allison Chang, MD, Ph.D.</p> <p>We are building on our previous &quot;All in the Family&quot; episode, with Jaclyn Lo Piccolo,<br /> MD, Ph.D., Pasi Janne, MD, Ph.D., of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Jill<br /> Feldman from EGFR Resisters. To look deeper into how a family history of lung<br /> cancer might increase the risk for other members, we invited Drs. Lecia Sequist<br /> and Allison Chang from Mass General Hospital to discuss their latest research on<br /> risk factors and the role of family history in lung cancer. We examine the current<br /> array of diagnostic tools—from CT scans to germline genetic testing—and the<br /> mystery of why some family members are more vulnerable to environmental<br /> pollutants than others. Tune in to see how Drs. Sequist and Chang are using AI-<br /> driven CT analysis to identify risk in those with a family history of lung cancer and<br /> learn if you qualify to participate in their</p>

Too Young for This? Facing Lung Cancer and Finding Our Voice
<p>HOST: Hildy Grossman CO-HOST, Jordan Rich<br /> Guests: Sachi Badola and Lauren Coye</p> <p>Think you’re too young for lung cancer? Think again! This week, we’re joined by<br /> two incredible young women who are highlighting the realities and breaking the<br /> stigma. Our first guest, Lauren Coye, shares her grueling journey to finally being<br /> diagnosed with lung cancer. After being told she had recurring upper respiratory<br /> infections, starting at age 14, Lauren’s persistence led to the discovery 10 years<br /> later that saved her life. Her story is a testament to the life-saving power of self-<br /> advocacy. Our next guest, Sachi Badola, is a pre-med student at Dartmouth<br /> College in New Hampshire. On top of that, she is taking over the reins to become<br /> the producer of Upstage Lung Cancer’s 10th annual Sing Out! concert on April<br /> 4, 2026. Bringing together eight a cappella groups to sing out about lung cancer,<br /> the concert will also be live-streamed and afterwards be available on YouTube<br /> and on our website. Both young women continue to raise awareness of lung<br /> cancer as Board Members of Upstage Lung Cancer. From the doctor’s office to the<br /> center stage, we’re exploring how the next generation can raise their voices to<br /> fund research and demand better care. It’s time to listen.</p>
