November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

Lung cancer matters, too.  Nobody deserves it.  And, you do not have to smoke to get it. 

This year, nearly 230,000 Americans will be diagnosed with Lung Cancer.  It is the Leading Cause of cancer death in the United States.  It claims more lives annually than either Colorectal, Pancreatic, Breast, or Prostate cancers.  And nearly 20% of those diagnosed with Lung Cancer have never smoked.

Yet, it receives a small fraction of the ​attention and research funding.  

Help fight to change this!

The GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer Brings Their Lung Cancer Living Room to Atlanta!

Every month, The GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer hosts their “Lung Cancer Living Room” from their headquarters in San Carlos, CA.  It is an education and support group for patients and their families. It is a forum for presentations by lung cancer specialists, physicians, and researchers.  The session is an unrestricted forum covering all topics: early detection, treatment options, molecular and genetic testing, clinical trials, drug discoveries, personalized medicine, nutrition, surgical equipment and procedures, up-to-date news about advancements, and more.  They share personal stories, get/give advice and support, and share critical information from doctors and researchers. 

This month, they are bringing their show on the road to Atlanta, Georgia!

Lung Cancer matters, too.

Nobody deserves it.  And, you do not have to smoke to get it. Lung cancer kills more people than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney, and melanoma cancers combined. ​Yet, it receives a small fraction of the ​attention and research funding.  Help fight to change this!

How? By supporting my dear friends at the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer.
