At just 30 years old, Clara went from being a healthy runner to facing a shocking diagnosis: stage 4 lung cancer with 35 brain tumors.

In this episode of Patient Conversations with Leah, Clara shares her powerful story ...from the first signs of back pain, to misdiagnosis, to the life-changing moment she was told she had advanced lung cancer. She opens up about navigating treatment, brain radiation, chemotherapy, sepsis, and the emotional weight of living with a terminal illness.

Clara also talks about the vital role her mom has played as her caregiver and advocate, and what it means to fight for answers, push for the best care, and hold on to hope.

This conversation is a reminder that lung cancer can affect young adults and that behind every diagnosis is a story of resilience, love, and survival.
