Center of Thoracic Cancers at Mass General Brigham Hospital

Only one who has heard those crushing words, "You have six months to two years to live!" can understand its devastating impact on one's psychic.

For Bill, all travel plans were put on the proverbial "back burner" and sadly thrown into the trash-two years of hellacious chemo seemly nothing short of poison recked havoc throughout his body.

While lying on his sofa, too weak to climb the stairsteps to his bedroom, a voice from a lovely young lady on his T.V. quietly proclaimed; I have adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer, and it's melting away.

This led to a conversation with Dr. Alice Shaw and a chance for life.

With the introduction to the wonderful world of ALK drugs, he now follows his dreams of world travel while "Living with Terminal Lung Cancer."

The urge to see this big beautiful planet has returned as strong as ever as he calls to Connie, "Pack the bags!" Travel they have! All seven continents, including all 63 of our fantastic National Parks (including Pago Pago N.P.).

Schuette, William

After retiring as a school administrator, Bill became an avid bike rider and hiker. This active lifestyle resulted in Bill's excellent physical condition as he entered his early 50s. His 2,167-mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and his work as a bike guide were evidence of Bill's fitness. All of this world came crashing down around him with the words of his doctor, "You have stage 4 lung cancer; it's terminal." Now, 16 years later, William Schuette shares his remarkable story of hope, "Living with Terminal Lung Cancer."
