For four years, Patty Mastandrea quietly fought lung cancer. Now, she’s sharing her story to give courage to others.

A nonsmoker, Patty was stunned when an unexpected chest X-ray revealed a mass in 2022. She completed three rounds of chemotherapy before undergoing surgery with WVU Medicine thoracic surgeon Dr. Michael Szwerc, who removed the lower lobe of her right lung.

Today, Patty continues treatment for an EGFR genetic mutation and is turning her experience into a message of awareness and hope.
