“For the first time in my career as an

knowledge of lung cancer.”

“The gas card program lets patients know that there are good people that do not
know them personally attempting to lessen their burden in some small
way. The gas cards are appreciated as much as a huge hospital bill being paid as it
is a form of sincere, thoughtful, and intentional support. Showing compassion is
what helps many patients continue to survive day to day. It is received with much
gratitude.”

Co-Funded Research
“Research has made only very minor advances in the past several
decades, and a cure is very rare. Clearly, new approaches are
needed. These new approaches must seek not small improvements,
but rather, dramatic ones, with the ultimate goal of curing a
previously incurable disease.” –Dr. Weiss

“Detecting lung cancer signatures in exhaled
breath would greatly impact a clinician’s ability
to detect cancer earlier and with minimally
invasive tests, thereby impacting patient
treatment and outcomes.” –Dr. Bishop
