We are so glad you’re here! We want this page to be your home on the web where you can come to learn about the latest news affecting ROS1 fusion positive cancer patients and get support from stories shared by other patients.
One of the most important things you can do upon a cancer diagnosis is to get all the information on your cancer type from trustworthy sources. Another powerful way to cope is to connect with others who are on the same journey- reading through their experiences will help you feel empowered and better prepared for your own experience.
Several ROS1ers have gotten together on a private group on Facebook, where discussions range from diagnostic & treatment experiences, clinical trial options, and other information that you or someone you know may find helpful. Please Facebook message Tori Tomalia, Lisa Goldman, or Janet Freeman-Daily if you would like to join.
Smart Patients
Smart Patients has a ROS1 Cancer community. Relevant discussions are tagged “ROS1” to make them easy to find.
Blogs
Several ROS1ers are active bloggers, sharing their diagnostic and treatment journey, and providing a space for connecting with others who might be going through something similar.
