Abstract

The Living Room, which draws its name from a virtual support group live-streamed internationally once a month by [author's] foundation, tells the stories of twenty lung cancer patients who have bravely fought the disease and found ways to thrive, not just to survive. The goal of Bonnie's efforts is to break down the barriers and stigmas associated with lung cancer and demonstrate how the new wave of treatment options are moving to make it a manageable disease. -- Provided by publisher.
