TeamBurke

Hi,

I'm Kristina and new to this site and forums in general. So here goes...

My 47 year old husband Jim,  was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer (NSCLC, EGFR+) this August. It was an absolute shock to us as I've only seen my husband sick once in the 22 years we've been together. It was also a shock as I've been battling breast cancer since October of 2019 and we could hardly believe or accept his diagnosis on top of mine and dealing with the pandemic! With that said Jim has started Tagrisso, a targeted therapy and is responding really well. We are within walking distance to one of the best Cancer Centers in the country. We are known as "Team Burke" since the kids came along in 2009 and 2013. We have two awesome children that inspire and ignite us daily. 

I'm not what else I should be saying other than I'm happy to be connecting to a community of patients and caregivers that may help us along this journey and hopefully how we may one day help others. 

Warmly,

Kristina
