It started with dry cough and fatigue, then non-smoker finds out she has stage 4 lung cancer

SINGAPORE — After going through the ups and downs of caring for her husband who overcame testicular cancer, Mrs Sarah Eade thought that the days of living on tenterhooks were over.

Since her husband’s recovery 10 years ago, she has poured her energy into raising awareness of cancer.

In 2019, the couple from Australia raised funds for children’s cancer research through a charity they founded called Channeling a Cause. Mr Callum Eade swam across the English Channel, while his wife accompanied him in a support boat and also handled the fundraising operations.

Then, last year, Mrs Eade got a rude shock when she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It is among the deadliest cancers in women.

The 45-year-old former fitness instructor does not smoke and leads a healthy and active lifestyle.
