Alexis, living in San Francisco, began experiencing shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Despite thinking it was anxiety, a routine cardiogram and CT scan revealed enlarged lymph nodes and a tumor in her lung.

In this cancer vlog, Alexis shares her journey from the initial discovery to her diagnosis of neuroendocrine cancer, a rare and slow-growing tumor. Through the ups and downs of her treatment options and a major surgery that led to the removal of her left lung, Alexis found strength in the love and support from her family, friends, and partner. She reflects on how cancer forced her to reevaluate her life and what it means to truly live.

Thank you, Alexis, for sharing your story to help others.
