ANYONE can get lung cancer, the #1 cancer killer & LEAST funded. Lung cancer no longer discriminates & research can no longer be ignored.
"WTF?" You get the double-entendre. This is my politically incorrect campaign I started for my mom, Leslie Lehrman, who has Stage IV lung cancer – inoperable, incurable. No, she has NEVER smoked. You DO NOT have to smoke to get lung cancer. In fact, 80% of new lung cancer patients have never smoked or quit smoking decades ago. No one deserves lung cancer.
Lung cancer is THE #1 cancer killer, the LEAST funded. There is no early detection screening or standard of care and the 5-year survival rate has remained unchanged (15.5%) for more than 40 years. This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE.
Join me in screaming "WTF?" & raising awareness and funding for lung cancer research. I will not let my mom die without having told her story and without making a difference. Here is her story.
