- Stephen grew up a healthy athlete who never smoked. He had just started his teaching career at 29 years old when he got the shock of his lifetime: he had stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. After genomic sequencing, it came back that he also had the ALK+ mutation.
In this interview with www.ThePatientStory.com founder, Stephanie, this father and husband details three sections of his story:
Video 1: First symptoms, scans, and getting diagnosed
Video 2: Treatment, focused specifically on targeted therapy drug (alectinib)
Video 3: Quality of life reflections

My husband got diagnosed with NSCLC stage 4. I'm literally out of words! Crying and broken-hearted he's very young (33) . 😭
Eat a good amount of cruciferous vegetables everyday
Eat fish and maybe organic beef. And make sure not to eat too much each day.
Make sure to get everything i've stated above as many organic as possible.
Daily exercise to the point of sweating
Get a lot of sun
Vitamin D supplement
1-2 days fast every 2 weeks(water fasting)
Making sure he would also take low doses or chemo or some treatment that keep his cancer in check.
Just recently lost my best friend from lung cancer. He was in denial at first 13 years ago. Cancer sucks! 😢😢
It’s unfortunate that many men feel they have to be stoic or not show “negative” feelings (as many have said). And to be “positive” about a very serious illness is also not good. Telling someone “You’ve got this” and the like doesn’t help with the reality of the situation.
I’m a born pessimist and my family and friends come from an ethnic group that has a deservedly negative outlook on many things. I’m glad about this! False positivity isn’t good.
I wish this man all the best.
What a wonderful person! Wishing you the best in health and every way.
Same to you!
He reminds me a lot of my cousin who was diagnosed with a lung cancer at 30 years old.
What an inspiration!.
Wish you best in health
Wishing you the best!!!!!
Thank you for your well wishes!
God Bless you. I am also ALK+

The Patient Story your more than welcome 💖I had an x-ray something on my left lung 5x4cm then a CT scan now on this Thursday(29th April) I have a PET scan appointment at 8:30am..the CT scan found a ..spot.. on my liver! I know what’s on my left lung isn’t good but will just take each day as it comes 💖ps I also have a heart murmur I didn’t know I had!
my fiance just got diagnosed with lung cancer, his brain metastases were detected first but the lung cancer was detected through whole body scan, were so afraid now.
Anne, thinking of you and your fiance. While we're not a medical advice-giving site, don't be afraid to get a second opinion and we hear from lung cancer patient advocates and oncologists about all the developments in therapies, so genomic testing is something you may want to ask about. -Stephanie

See… you have to go to many many doctors before you can get a diagnosis. If you don’t have insurance, you are behind the 8 ball.
