Introducing ALK Positive Denmark An interview with President, Irfan Gilani

Can you share with our readers the founding story of ALK Positive Denmark? What inspired the establishment of the organization? ALK Positive Denmark, founded on October 6, 2022, stands as a dedicated advocacy group for ALK-positive lung cancer patients and their families. The genesis of this initiative can be traced back to Heidi Vaarbjerg, who recognized the need for a support network for Danish patients facing ALK-positive lung cancer.

Patient Spotlight: Dr. Sydney Barned, Maryland, USA

We interviewed Dr. Sydney Barned - a medical doctor, ALK patient, and very active lung cancer advocate. We learned about her personal journey with ALK+ lung cancer, how lung cancer has also affected other members of her family, and, more importantly, her tireless involvement in lung cancer advocacy, some of which has already resulted in legislation being passed to help lung cancer patients
