Voicing New Reasons for Optimism

HOST: Hildy Grossman, CO-HOST: Jordan Rich
GUEST: Maida Mangiameli, Dusty Donaldson, Misty Shields, MD, Ph.D., and Ann Steagall

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of lung cancer with a 5-year survival rate of just 7%, a disheartening statistic. Despite this, survivors, researchers, and the medical community are actively working to create a more hopeful future. In this powerful podcast episode, we bring together a diverse team of guests to discuss stories of survival, groundbreaking treatments, and renewed reasons for hope. You’ll hear from:
• Maida Mangiameli, an inspiring SCLC survivor who’s been in remission for 8 years, so far.
• Dr. Misty Shields, a physician-scientist specializing in SCLC within her oncology practice who also shares a personal story.
• Dusty Donaldson, a lung cancer survivor and patient-advocate whose organization provides crucial support groups for SCLC patients.
• Ann Steagall, a dedicated nurse navigator who guides patients through their diagnosis and treatment journey.
Join us for a lively discussion that sheds light on the progress being made and the hope that exists for those facing small cell lung cancer.
