This blog is a personal blog written and edited by Janet Freeman-Daily. I believe in honesty, integrity, and transparency, and I believe in what I write.  Except for occasional guest blog posts I choose to post, the views and opinions expressed on this blog are mine alone.

In my work as a lung cancer patient, research advocate, and writer, I do accept compensation from companies and organizations for travel expenses, conference registrations, speaking engagements, writing, and consulting services.

Compensated activities may influence my choice of topics and posts in this blog.  However, I do not accept sponsored content or advertising, and I do not accept compensation to promote anything or provide opinions or content related to products, services, websites, companies, organizations, or any other topic.  I will only discuss products or services that I believe, based on my own experience or research, are worthy of comment.  Whenever possible, I provide sources for claims and data. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or source.
