Ashley was a 37-year-old mother of two who just died as a result of #LungCancer. She deserved better. We all do. Why did our American government pull all Lung Cancer funding? Maybe Congress and POTUS can explain it to her children.

Women in this group face a higher risk than men, yet symptoms are still overlooked or put down to something else.

Sylvie had back pain, shortness of breath & weight loss. She was told it was sciatica & sent home.
A scan finally showed a mass in her lung - it was stage 4 ALK+ #lungcancer that had spread to her bones, liver, spine & lymph nodes.

I screen for #LungCancer annually. So does my kid sister. Our mother died as a result of LC treatment. Most LC is caught at an advanced stage. Catch it in time. #StayAlive #lcsm
Did you know only 1 in 10 people at higher risk for #lungcancer get screened? Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. If caught early, lung cancer can be treated and survival rates can dramatically improve.

Reminiscing on last weekend's TCS NYC Marathon where Team LCRF showed up to represent the lung cancer community! This team has raised over $130,000 for research and we couldn't be more thankful for their efforts.

Sarah thought her #lungcancer symptoms were the menopause.
She was exhausted, dizzy and struggling with constant headaches. Even her neurologist thought it was menopause-related.

#Lungcancer can affect anyone - even if it’s the last thing you’d expect. It doesn’t care about age, history or lifestyle.
Symptoms aren’t always obvious they can be subtle & not always respiratory related.
Don’t ignore signs that persist. Finding it early increases your options. #LCSM
