As a never-smoker, a diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer was a gut punch I received over 2 years ago. I've since learned lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in North America, and globally. It accounts for more deaths than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined. It's not surprising because there's no routine screening for lung cancer; such a test doesn't exist.
Lung cancer, associated with smoking, faces powerful stigma that results in low profile and vast underfunding. The hard reality is, anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. As many as 20% of lung cancer diagnoses are in never-smokers.
Lung cancer needs support. Your donation will make a difference. Thank you! Bev
