ROS1 Mutation
Living Strong: Wendy’s Story
Wendy Lassen Feldman’s lung cancer diagnosis came after she insisted on scans despite her doctor’s initial doubts. Diagnosed in 2016 with stage 3 ROS1-positive lung cancer, Wendy faced her treatment with hope and determination. She underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery—all while maintaining her daily routines and fighting to stay strong for her children. Her medical team’s confidence that she would be alive in five years gave her vital encouragement during a difficult time.
Wendy’s message to others is clear: don’t give up. Lung cancer isn’t always a death sentence, and survival rates don’t define individual outcomes. She believes in embracing cancer as part of life without letting it control her. Inspired by the Lung Cancer Research Foundation’s dedication to research, Wendy actively supports their work, helping to fund advancements that bring new options and hope to lung cancer patients everywhere.
