November Health Focus: Lung Cancer



Taking breath is so fundamental and automatic a function
that most of us are apathetic to proper care of
our lungs until a problem develops and we
are already suffering from symptoms.

But becoming aware and acting to improve our
environments and habits are a good start to
besting the disease.

Did you know that lung cancer strikes more women
than breast cancer?

Did you know that hidden toxins in your home
can hurt your lungs?

Did you know that prolonged exposure to
second-hand smoke can be deadlier than being
a smoker yourself?

November is lung cancer awareness month,
and this is my chance to remind you to care
for your lungs before problems develop, and
do everything you can to heal if you've
already developed lung cancer.

Don't take it lying down!


For more information, assistance, referrals,
and support go to



And do your part to learn more and share the
information with friends and family today.

Avoiding the conversation won't cause anyone
to heal, and there are many steps you can take
to prevent worsening of conditions or stave off
the onset.

The earlier you quit, the better your lungs' chances
of healing, as well as extending your life span.

It takes what it takes...
keep on trying!
