Jill Feldman: Fantastic IASLC STARS Scholars get-together
Jill Feldman shared a post on X:
”Fantastic IASLC STARS Scholars get-together! We ate, drank, laughed, and cried, remembering friends we have lost.
We all anxiously await the amazing research to be presented at WCLC24 – a lot of science on innovative treatments and talk about cures, but not as much about helping us live better. Many of us are veteran patients – grateful to be alive but struggling with the compound cumulative effects of multiple lines of therapy. Our bodies are tired.
I implore all researchers who develop innovative treatments to also make cancer less shitty.”
