Finding your voice while navigating a cancer diagnosis is not always easy, but self advocacy can be a game changer. Advocating for education, research and funding can drastically change outcomes and often, it is the voices of those who have experienced health disparities first-hand who impact institutional change. Follow the stories of Montessa Lee, Rayanne Lehman and Maida Mangiameli as they share moments of strength, wisdom and advocacy from their journeys with Small Cell Lung Cancer.

While there is still no cure for SCLC, there are new screenings and treatments and new reasons to be hopeful.
