Lung Cancer is not only for Smokers

Something to ponder on from another interesting dNeero convo.

"Lung cancer kills more people annually than breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, and kidney cancer combined! The 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is only 15 percent. Sixty percent of lung cancer cases are now diagnosed as nonsmokers or former smokers. Two-thirds of nonsmokers diagnosed with lung cancer are women."

My mom is an example of this fact that lung cancer is not only for the smokers, but sadly, the non-smokers are more vulnerable to acquiring this life-threatening ailment. Read more on my mom's story here.

Please be aware that this is a charity-only conversation and earnings from this conversation will be given to Stacey Scott Lung Cancer Registry.
