Patrick Forde, MD, has a lot of experience running clinical trials. At any given time, he is running five to ten active clinical trials for patients with lung cancer at Johns Hopkins University. These trials span the full spectrum from early-stage to metastatic lung cancer. The majority of the trials he runs involve the use of immunotherapy drugs—drugs that leverage our natural immune system to combat disease.

In spite of mostly-successfully not being preoccupied with my condition/circumstances/disease, when a lung cancer survivor dies, even one with whom I've had minimal contact; one whom I could barely call an acquaintance, the link in the chain that makes all of us lung cancer patients/survivors stronger is most definitely effected.
