candee Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I am in the process of starting a face to face Lung Cancer Support Group in Central NJ. Specifically Southern Monmouth County/Northern Ocean County near the shore. If you are a Lung Cancer Survivor you are aware that there is no support group for us at this time. If you live in Central NJ and would be interested in becoming a member please email me for mor info. Also of importance to us is, November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. Spread the word, call your Governor's office and find out if they have proclaimed November Lung Cancer Awareness Month. You can also call ALCASE (Alliance for Lung Cancer Awareness Support and Education)800-298-2436 they have a list of which states have proclaimed. Call the media entities in your area. Let's advocate for ourselves. That's what Breast Cancer Survivors did 20 years ago and look where they are today. Research dollars for Lung Cancer are only 10% of what they are for Breast Cancer, and 15% of what they are for Prostate Cancer. We have to stand up for ourselves or this will never change. Loving Life & Working to Continue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
