Radon exposure is the number one cause of lung cancer in non smokers, and Ottawa is actually on an area of higher radon levels. To anyone reading this, have your house tested for radon before purchasing it. You can have radon remediation taken off the cost of the house if levels are discovered to be too high.

My grandma was a stage 4 lung cancer survivor, it metastasized to her brain and did cause lasting neurological problems but she was cancer free for 12 years. She passed away last year due to other causes, very shortly after her mom died. She also suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and was neglected in a nursing home, she was suffering and lived in so much mental and physical pain. While it was miraculous that she survived such an aggressive form of cancer and while it was very hard to lose her after being cancer free for so long, in a way, I’m happy she’s free from her suffering. Love you Grandma Linda, you deserved so much better in your life.

Eight years since diagnosis and you can still breathe and talk and live? There isn't a font size big enough for the ":)" I want to type.

My MIL lived about six months. It was the mets to her brain that ended the fight. Toward the end she told my wife "I wish I had stopped smoking earlier." I understand there are a lot of causes of lung cancer but tobacco got her.

This ladies and gentlemen is truly unique content.

My cousin had a similar story, although unfortunately he didn’t survive. At 25 years old he developed a chronic cough but was misdiagnosed with allergies then bronchitis then pneumonia. He didn’t get a chest x-ray until 3 months after he developed symptoms. It was then that they saw a mass and subsequently had a biopsy performed that confirmed stage 4 lung cancer. He had an ALK rearrangement that responded well to targeted therapy for about a year and a half until the cancer became resistant. Unfortunately he passed away 3 years later at age 28. He was supposed to begin a clinical trial but became too sick before he could start. We need better screening for lung cancer. My cousin was young and did not smoke. Because he had no risk factors, he fell through the cracks and wasn’t diagnosed until the cancer was already metastasized. I hope we can figure out better screening and treatment so no one else has to go through this; it’s a horrible disease.

The treatment for my type of MS is the only one there is, recently approved, and it’s given once every 6 months through IV. It costs $64k a year, so $32k a dose and it’s cheaper than most MS treatments given via IV. My insurance wouldn’t cover it only because there isn’t enough evidence that it would be successful in treating my condition and they’re correct in that regard. I can’t blame them for not wanting to spend money on something more likely to fail than succeed in treating what was an untreatable type of MS until 2015. That being said, I understand the pain of this situation, but I also understand the American healthcare system and the economic factors at play here. I wouldn’t want to receive medical care anywhere other than the United States for so many reasons I could write like 6 pages just summarizing those. When it comes down to it, the United States has fantastic medical care and treatment standards that other countries don’t enjoy. In Canada you have ER’s with 8 hour wait-times unless you want to pay for medical care right away, treatment for other conditions or getting an MRI can often take months. The standards of care are lower and many Canadians come to the US for disease treatment like this. She even expresses this in this interview. Canada doesn’t have free healthcare for all, they wanted $10k a month for cancer treatment and she had to “track down” her insurance to see if they’d cover it. In the US, you’d have easy access to MRI that doesn’t cost a fortune and can easily be done in an emergency setting at the hospital if needed. Medical research costs millions or billions of dollars each year, pharmaceutical cost is even greater. Getting a drug approved is a lengthy and costly process, the manufacturing of said drugs is also expensive. Those employees have to be paid, too. Drug studies usually pay compensation to participants if it involves new medication. We have more MRI machines here than any other country including the most powerful MRI machines just recently developed that some countries don’t have access to at all. MRI is imperative to diagnosing neurological conditions and other central nervous system issues, including lumbar spine conditions amongst many, many, many others. As an adult, you should focus on making sure you have the best insurance you can afford that’s based around your own personal health issues or concerns. Some insurance companies cover medications and prescriptions more than others, some cover primary care and preventive care more than others, some cover hospitalization more than others, so on and so forth. You control what insurance you have, make sure it’s the best one for you. If you need emergency medical treatment you will receive it no matter what if you go to the ER. They can’t turn you away because you don’t have insurance or can’t pay. Prescriptions can usually be billed to you if you elect to get them from your hospital’s pharmacy if they have one. If you qualify, get on Medicaid. Literally all of my healthcare costs were covered with the exception of a couple medications, namely morphine and Desoxyn depending on the amount of pills and how many times I’d had a script filled that month. Use GoodRX for any prescriptions you have to pay for, it will save you tons of money. Morphine was $45 for immediate release, $90 for extended at CVS (and after showing I wasn’t abusing my medications measured by the length of time it took before I requested a new script get filled, I would pick up two full months worth of medication but the price was always the same no matter how many pills} but with GoodRX I paid $80 for everything. It’s a huge, huge help. Other than that, and my MS treatment I talked about earlier, everything was free. I live in CA, lived in NV which is about the same for Medicaid but they have better insurance providers that you get to actually choose from based on need or you can be assigned by the health and social services department to one of their default providers - and I know other states have great Medicaid programs if you fall on hard times and need one. I have a family of nearly nine, my husband and myself + 6 kids and 1 on the way. The income limit for Medicaid here is in the 6 figures for a family of nine. There’s help for people in many different situations you just have to look into it. My husband’s insurance from work is better and we pay extra for $0 co-pays for emergency and OBGYN as well as hospitalizations and prescriptions because I’m hospitalized relatively frequently. It’s worth it for the standard of care we receive. Research how much money it costs to develop drugs, and remember that your hospital staff has to be paid, the hospital has to buy every single thing that’s used for care to the tune of hundreds of millions, likely billions for larger hospitals, of dollars a year. If you see a doctor at a private practice, they have to cover all of the business costs and costs of medical supplies and whatever else. We have such amazing doctors due to the competitive free-market healthcare system where there are incentives to provide better care, and ambitious research projects are able to be funded. We have generic medication as well, which many countries like Canada don’t have. Some generic versions are thousands of dollars less than the name brand. Don’t believe the propaganda, learn about microeconomics and business and then learn how the healthcare system applies those principles and how developing pharmaceuticals and funding medical research and drug trials or getting something approved by the FDA actually works and how much it costs to do these things. You do not want the government to control any part of your life, and that is tripled when it comes to healthcare. The federal government has no right and no business to control healthcare for Americans and limit the economic benefits of the free-market system that allows us to have the fantastic medical care we have available to us. They (the government) want this power, they want you to think it’s better for you, so instead of helping tell people to shop around for insurance and how to pick the best plan or anything related to ensuring you have great healthcare that works for you, they simply exploit people’s fears and outright lie about whatever they need to in order to push this agenda forward. It’s disgusting and it’s getting worse and worse. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help,” is the single most terrifying sentence you should pray you never have to hear, as it usually precedes your rights and liberties being stripped away forthwith. Just a brief little summary, I can explain better if anyone wants me to and if KZread will actually let me, I can link to official sources (not press releases). This is an important issue and Americans have been way too easily duped into believing we should destroy a healthcare system they simply just don’t understand or pay any mind to otherwise. It’s my mission to help try to provide some insight and knowledge to as many people as possible about government, the economy, law and policy, etc. so they can protect their interests and educate themselves and hopefully help other people with that knowledge as well. Have a great week everyone! Thanks for reading my comment

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 1996. Kidney Grawitz tumor. He was immediately sent to the Daniel Den Hoed clinic in Rotterdam, Netherlands. There, a friendly doctor told my dad that there was only chemotherapie as official treatment but also that there was a clinical trial running for Interferon-beta. My dad signed up and got his shots, twice a week. Each shot cost in the order of $3,000 if can remember correctly. But it was all paid for by the foundation. After 8 months of treatment the tumor had shrunk from volleyball size to egg size. They decided to operate and remove the shredded kidney and tumor, also replacing a calcified piece vena cava. Then, more shots. After about a year, he was officially in remission. But in 2000 he started to feel pain in his left leg joint. The bone had started to metastasize. Interferon did not work anymore, he had one or two more chemos but then really gave up. He passed in 2004.

Over 80% of those with stage 4 lung cancer die within a year of their diagnosis...so...yeah...very much atypical. She seems to be doing well, considering!

For a normal patient with metastatic lung cancer, this length of survival is very abnormal. However, she mentioned that she takes a type of targeted therapy (either for ALK, EGFR, ROS1 etc mutations) and the small subset of those patients tend to survive for many years due to the increased effectiveness and durability of the newer treatments. A study done back in 2018 at the University of Colorado Cancer Center determined that those with ALK positive metastatic lung cancer have an overall survival rate of about 7 years on average even with metastases outside the chest. Compare that to maybe a year or two using the newest chemotherapy/immunotherapy regimens for patients that have metastatic non-small cell lung cancer without a targetable mutation. So for the small subset of patients that are able to take these medications, survival such as this is very possible. Unfortunately, resistance almost always develops and so second, third, and beyond line treatments are necessary.

With new research, more people are living longer and better, even with late stage diagnosis. Median survival rate for the kind of lung cancer I have is around 7 years, and the vast majority of people are diagnosed late stage. Research matters! Early detection matters too

okay but why are there dislikes on this video

Also, Dr. Bernard, I have a question. Where are you from? Your name kinda reminds me of names from my country, germany :D

Well they are two fundamentally very different problems :/. So are you advocating for not exploring space until everything on earth is solved?
