I’m Grieving My Past, Present & Future With Stage 4 Lung Cancer | Cori’s Story

In this episode of Patient Conversations, Leah Phillips talks with Cori, who has been living with stage 4 lung cancer for over 9 years through a clinical trial.

Together, they explore the emotional toll of cancer...including anticipatory grief, mental health challenges, and the ongoing loss that comes with community connections.

💬 Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or healthcare provider, this conversation is a powerful reminder that grief isn’t just for after a loss... it’s part of the cancer experience itself.
