Emily Walthall's Story

In spite of being a never-smoker with no family cancer history, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 RET-driven lung cancer at age 39.

Thanks to medical research, I receive a RET-targeted therapy that effectively inhibits my disease. However, at some point, my cancer is likely to develop resistance. Our RET community is counting on new treatments for our survival.

Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer in the US & worldwide, with a growing number of men & women under 50 being diagnosed.

By donating to RETpositive, you're directly supporting RET research that will lead to more treatments &, one day, a cure for RET+ lung cancer and all RET-driven cancers, regardless of tissue of origin. Thank you.

Our Love & Gratitude, Emily, Elliott, James, Shorty, & Luna
