This website has been a source of inspiration and hope to many people. One of Christine’s final wishes was that this website continue to inspire hope in people diagnosed with lung cancer and offer some guidance in coping with battling cancer. Christine did go into remission which is almost unheard of in stage IV lung cancer. New therapies are in the works but funding for lung cancer research is very small compared to other cancers. Especially non-smoking-related lung cancer of which they know very little but are seeing more and more. I plan to keep this website going in Christine’s memory and as a source of information for people diagnosed.

I will keep Christine’s contact info for now: christine@practicaltruisms.com or
mark@practiclatruisms.com. Feel free to send an email with questions or just to say hello. I will try to answer as quickly as I can.

Order Practical Truisms

If you can, go to www.unitingagainstlungcancer.org and make a donation in Christine's name.
Their focus is non-smoking-related lung cancer research funding.

Christine was a candle that burned brightly and for much too short a time. I can only hope I gave her as much love as she gave me.
