Fill out the join form on the website and say whether you're a patient or caregiver. I didn't see a membership fee listed (checked October 2026).
How it fits with other groups here
EGFR Resisters covers common EGFR mutations. If you have an EGFR exon 20 insertion, also look at Exon 20 Group. For general lung cancer support, see LUNGevity and GO2 for Lung Cancer. If you were diagnosed young, see Young Lung Cancer Initiative. More in my find support guide.
