Yoav

I’m Yoav,

Diagnosed with stage IV ROS1+ lung cancer at age 38

Moved to the UK in 2019 to pursue my career as a 🎻Violin Restorer.

Live in London with my wife and 3 kids aged 4, 8 & 10

I’m employed by a world famous violin dealership, and get to work on some of the most important violins that exist!!!

Since diagnosis in Dec 2024, I was treated with Crizotinib 💊 for 5 months, and then Zidesamtinib 💊 for another 5.

Now I’m on Chemotherapy, with good initial results, but would have loved to continue a TKI to protect my brain 🧠, and help fighting the cancer in the lungs 🫁.

This is common practice in the US and elsewhere, but is not allowed by NHS rules!
