Oncogene Cancer Research – The launch of Lung Cancer Europe’s 9th Empowering Voices Report
Oncogene Cancer Research shared on LinkedIn:
“Lung cancer affects the whole family. Like our co-founder Jan Clark‘s.
Jan’s daughter Amy was diagnosed with lung cancer at just 20 years old. Now 25, Amy continues to fight with her mum Jan by her side.
Jan recently presented the caregiver’s perspective at the launch of Lung Cancer Europe’s 9th ‘Empowering Voices Report. Presented by LuCE President Anne-Marie Baird and supported by Members of European Parliament.
Here’s Jan’s advice for other caregivers
Lean on support – Whether it’s family, friends, or a community, don’t try to carry the weight alone
Validate information – Knowledge is power, but only if it’s accurate
Be brave enough to switch – Changing care teams was a turning point for Amy’s journey. Trust your instincts
Find your people – Seek those who lift and empower you
Challenge the status quo – It’s okay to ask tough questions and advocate for the best care.
Share the load – ‘Amy is so caring, and I help ease the burden where I can,’ Jan says
To any other parents and people with similar challenges: you are not alone. We see you. “
