RandyW Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Underfunding, Lack of research based on low survival rates, Increase in death among women and decrease in men. Non smoking also a large factor, not just smoking, Misuse of Tobacco settlement money. Need toraise awareness and funds for this disease. Just my Random early morning thoughts. GOOD LUCK AND You Will do great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 We are real people. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, doctors, nurses, teachers, veterans, etc. At least 1/2 of the people diagnosed do not smoke. Many never smoked. No one "deserves cancer." Also all of the above noted by Randy. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda661 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You'll do great....others gave great ideas and I don't really have anything to add to that; when in doubt, just tell your story, from your perspective.....you will naturally bring out many issues that the public should know out of your own experiences and you won't tend to draw a blank on that stuff if/when the jitters get going. Can't wait to read the article. Hugs, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
