So let me introduce you to David: a courageous man who not only recently learned he has lung cancer, but has made the bold decision to launch a and chronicle his journey as he undergoes lung cancer surgery.It was a pleasant surprise when David reached out to us last week to tell us he got ÎÞÓǶÌÊÓÆµ from his surgeon, and has been using it to prepare for his upcoming surgery.As he puts it:

"The app has many benefits. One that is not obvious initially is the comfort it gives to the caregiver. Cancer brings with it a lot of stress and anxiety, especially for the partner or caregiver, who wants to help but isn’t sure what they can do."
