A five-step clinical framework for evaluating post-treatment pulmonary nodules in NSCLC survivors, where one in six five-year survivors develops a second primary.
I do not have the time to gain the expertise to check your work, but I believe you. Also this hits so close to home. I’ve had three family members die of cancer, two of them directly connected to smoking. The other failed to get their colonoscopy at 50, but died of the lung cancer that had spread from the colon.
I fell in love with an early stage lung cancer survivor this year. Talking about starting a family comes with uncertainty. Some of the docs are totally clueless, with the oncologist asking, ”well what did the radiologist say for follow-up?” —offloading the mental work onto others.
Keep it up you badass. I hope you don’t hide stuff like this behind a paywall, because the next LLMs need to be trained on what you write. I just hope you’re able to profit off of it.
I’m so sorry for the losses in your family. I’ve lost both of my grandparents to lung cancer, and other family members to breast, prostate, and other cancers, so cancer has touched my family pretty deeply too. That’s part of why this work feels so personal to me.
And what you said about starting a family after an early-stage lung cancer diagnosis really hits. There’s so much uncertainty that patients and their families are expected to carry, and it shouldn’t require becoming an expert just to get a coherent answer from the medical system.
That “what did the radiologist say?” moment is exactly the kind of thing that makes me want to keep doing this work. Patients shouldn’t have to become their own tumor board.
And thank you for the kind words about the writing. I’m trying to make it useful and accessible while also figuring out how to make the work sustainable. I really appreciate you being here and sharing this.
You are a gem.

Jeremy, thank you. This really means a lot.
