Episode 1: From Long Covid to Lung Cancer

In the first episode of Voices of ALK+, host Winhan Wong sits down with Anamaria, who shares her deeply personal journey of living with ALK-positive lung cancer. Anamaria speaks openly about:

• Receiving an unexpected diagnosis after months of unexplained symptoms
• The challenges of delayed diagnosis and self-advocacy
• Navigating treatment and adapting to life with metastatic lung cancer
• The emotional and mental health impact of cancer
• Finding hope, purpose, and resilience while raising her family
• Why community support can make all the difference

Her story reminds us that lung cancer does not fit one stereotype. Many people diagnosed with ALK-positive lung cancer are younger adults, lifelong non-smokers, parents, professionals, and otherwise healthy individuals whose diagnosis comes as a complete shock.
