My diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer came out of the blue a year ago. Since then, I’ve learned lots about lung cancer, including that it’s rarely discovered in its early stages.
Did you know that lung cancer in North America accounts for more cancer-related deaths than breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined? Shocking isn’t it? The reality is — anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. Yet, most people associate lung cancer with smoking. This stigma means it gets fewer fund-raising dollars. This is not justifiable because 3/4 of lung cancers are non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a completely different disease process and biology than smoking-related cancer.
Lung cancer is misunderstood and poorly funded. Your support makes a difference. Thank you so much! Bev
