Lung Cancer in the News…Finally
Ask Congress to support the Lung Cancer Mortality Reduction Act of 2009
We are seeing pink ribbons everywhere. October is breast cancer awareness month. That’s great. I’m sure any cancer research helps all cancers. Let’s not forget lung cancer. Cut a little snippet of white ribbon to be reminded of those with lung cancer. Many of us have never smoked. I heard today of a boy who is thirteen with lung cancer.
If you can, make a donation to lung cancer research. Visit Lung Cancer Foundation of America to find out more.
******************************
Lung cancer is the forgotten cancer. It is under funded, under researched, and under supported. It will kill more than 160,000 Americans this year. The Lung Cancer Foundation of America is desperately needed…
Because of a 5-year survival rate of only 15%, there are few survivors to stand up and speak out in support of the disease.
Because of the association of smoking with lung cancer, almost all money is directed toward tobacco cessation and education programs, despite the fact that 60% of new lung cancer victims are non-smokers. Visit Lung Cancer Foundation of America to find out more.
