“My mum was diagnosed with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.”
One Concerned Son Dening was always the driving force of the family.
Her sacrifice and support helped Jason emerge as one of the top pro golfers in the world. They meant the world to each other. When she received her diagnosis, Jason’s #1 priority became focusing solely on her care. Jason paints a vivid picture of that trying time in his family’s life, and explains how they persevered and got through it all together.
“I looked at my wife Ellie, and it was very emotional… ‘Okay what are we going to do? We need to get her the best care we possibly can.’ And that kind of immediately started after I’d kind of had my moment, we immediately started thinking about what can we do to get past this and fight.”
“I wasn’t a professional. I’m no doctor. I didn’t know. I thought lung cancer was just lung cancer, but there are so many different types of lung cancers out there. And to add biomarker testing to the equation gave us a more complete diagnosis of what we were up against.”
