QUIZ II
PART A
Read the following text carefully!
Suffering a Lung Cancer
My name is Shari. I am a retired kindergarten teacher, wife, mother,
and grandmother. I enjoy singing and attending my grandchildren’s sporting
events. In 2010, I had constant bronchitis, and antibiotics weren’t helping.
My doctor ordered an X-ray, but it didn’t find anything wrong. A few
months later, I coughed up blood. Then I did a second X-ray followed by a
CT scan. The result found a cancer in my lung. As a non-smoker, I was
surprised to learn my diagnosis – stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Chemotherapy was conducted as a treatment to remove the cancer. While I
was being treated with chemotherapy, my doctor informed me I was a
candidate for one of the biomarker-directed therapies based on the genetic
makeup of my cancer. He had sent a sample of my cancer away for
molecular testing after a biopsy. At the time, I was hesitant to switch
treatments because I felt good and my cancer was stable. Yet, I changed my
mind to follow the doctor’s advice to switch treatments after he explained
anything about the therapies. This decision was positive for me because my
cancer shrank. I’m still on the therapy over a year later. Even though I’m not
free of lung cancer, I am able to lead a happy and full life. My family has
been a source of strength, and I am thankful that my doctor provided this
opportunity to me.
