JaneC Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 I had no idea that lung cancer was #3! - I would have thought it would have been much lower on the list. This really makes me want to be more of an activist! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted August 5, 2004 Share Posted August 5, 2004 Jane, Most of the world has NO CLUE that lung cancer is number ONE cancer killer in the world, let alone one of the most leading causes of death in men and women. We always hear about Breast cancer and Prostate cancer, but you hear very little about Lung Cancer. Which is OUR duty to bring Awareness to this devestating disease. Thanks Donna for sharing this with all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
