There Is Hope for lung cancer

There Is Hope for lung cancer Welcome to There Is Hope. This page is dedicated to lung cancer survivors or anyone who is or was affected by lung cancer. I’m living proof that it’s not.

La’Kisha Cole | Lung Cancer Survivor | Faith Over Fear

When you hear the word cancer, most people think death sentence. I am a fourteen-year lung cancer survivor. Out of every 14 people diagnosed with lung cancer, I was the one who beat it—by the grace of God, my faith, and the prayers of my family and friends. In 2011, doctors told me I needed emergency surgery to remove a tumor from my left bronchial tube. If the tumor had been any lower, my entire left lung would have been removed. After leaving the doctor’s office, I talked to God. I told Him I was scared, but I also told Him I chose to live. On the day of my surgery, doctors said I would be in the operating room for 4–6 hours. I didn’t reach recovery until late that night. Less than 24 hours after surgery—with tubes in my side and pain in my body—I heard a voice telling me to get up and walk. Every step I took was a reminder that the enemy did not win. The doctors removed all the cancer and saved my lung. No chemotherapy. No radiation. What was supposed to take 1–2 years to heal was completely healed in just five months. My doctor said he had never seen anything like it before. I told him, “Then you don’t know my God.”

I share my story to remind others that faith is powerful, healing is possible, and your diagnosis does not define your destiny. If God can do this for me, imagine what He can do in your life.

As many of you know, cancer funding was drastically cut in 2025. I can honestly say this was not only disappointing, but deeply hurtful to so many of us whose lives have been touched by cancer.

With midterm elections happening this year, every member of Congress we elected will be asking for our vote again. This is where our voices matter—and where we remind them that we hold the power.
I’m asking everyone who follows my page to please click on the link I shared and take a moment to learn what’s happening in cancer research right now. I also encourage you to read the comments. People are bravely sharing why lung cancer research matters to them, and their stories are powerful.

After reading, I urge you to contact your state representative. Share your story. Tell them why lung cancer research is important, why it matters to you, and why funding it must be a priority.

Silence won’t create change—but our voices can.

Why does lung cancer research matter to you?

💬 Share your reason in the comments and raise your voice for progress.

This Thursday, the Senate HELP Committee will consider S.1157, the Women and Lung Cancer Research and Preventive Services Act—a critical step toward closing persistent research gaps, especially for women.

📣 Urge your Members of Congress to advance this lifesaving legislation.

As we reflect on all that we have been through in 2025, let us not allow those experiences to stop us from celebrating what lies ahead in 2026.

I created this page to give hope to everyone who has been affected by lung cancer. This space is a platform for sharing stories—stories of strength, survival, resilience, and even loss. It is a place where people can speak openly about how lung cancer has affected their lives, their families, and their journeys.

This page exists to remind you that you are not alone in this fight.
Let us take time to remember everyone who has been affected by this terrible disease, and to honor those we have lost. I don’t like to say they “lost the battle,” because their strength, courage, and love live on through us.

As we move into 2026, let us carry forward the strength and fight that define this community. Let us step into the new year knowing that together we can offer one another hope, encouragement, and support. Cancer is not a death sentence, and no one should face it alone.

I challenge everyone in 2026 to use this page as a voice—to share how you defeated lung cancer, how you are fighting it, or how it has shaped your life and your family. Your story matters, and it may be the hope someone else needs.
Together, we are stronger.

I wish everyone a very happy new year 🎊

As Lung Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end, let’s not allow our efforts to end with it.

Awareness isn’t something we should share only in November. It’s something we must carry with us throughout the year.

Let’s continue to educate, advocate, fight, and remain vigilant. Let’s make sure everyone knows the realities of lung cancer — its impact, its challenges, and the strength of those who face it.

Every day, rise with purpose. Share your story. Share your victories. Share how lung cancer has touched your life and the lives of those you love.

Your voice matters, and your experience can inspire, comfort, and ignite change.
Awareness doesn’t end with a month — it lives on through all of us. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
