WTF? (Where's the Funding?) for Lung Cancer
www.wtflungcancer.com
by Jennifer Stauss Windrum

Picture
Yeah, you get the double-entrendre. Some may find it a bit crude. I find it necessary to get attention – attention to THE #1 cancer killer in the U.S and THE most under-funded. Why? Well, the stigma of smoking.

My mom, Leslie Lehrman, has never smoked. She has stage IV lung cancer – inoperable, incurable. Yes, that’s right, you DO NOT have to smoke to get lung cancer. Many people do NOT know this. And more and more people who have never smoked are being diagnosed and dying of lung cancer.

I will not let my mom die without having told her story and without making a difference. Here is her story.

It’s time to take the stigma OUT of lung cancer – smokers or not – and get lung cancer the attention and funding it deserves.

Until then, I will continue to loudly scream, “WTF” for Lung Cancer?” Join me.
