August 2005 -  With Every Breath: A Lung Cancer Guidebook was written for people who have recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and their loved ones. Living with lung cancer is a family matter. The person with the disease and all his or her loved ones are affected by the disease in one way or another.
One of the most difficult and yet changeable circumstances of dealing with lung cancer is a lack of knowledge. It can be very intimidating to be faced with potentially life-changing decisions while feeling you do not have the information you need to choose wisely. Filling that gap by providing you with medical and practical information is what this book is all about.
Dr. Tina M. St. John is an epidemiologist and was formerly a Senior Medical Officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr St. John is a committed patient advocate, and recently became the Medical Director of the Caring Ambassadors Program, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people challenged with chronic and/or life-threatening illnesses. Patient advocacy and providing people facing life-threatening illnesses with easily understood and accurate information are among Dr. St. John’s primary professional goals.
Dr. St. John’s late husband, Andrew L. St. John, PhD, died in 1998 of non-small cell lung cancer at the age of 43. Dr. St. John currently resides with her 9-year-old daughter, Hope, in Vancouver, Washington.
