Although nobody hears much about it, November is Lung Cancer Awareness month. I am trying to create more awareness of this leading killer among all the cancers. One way I am doing that is attending a Lung Cancer Awareness vigil tomorrow at 6 p.m. at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates. (Anyone is welcome to join Doug and me there!)
Another way is to ask those of you reading this blog to take the one minute required to watch this very short video at the following YouTube link - This Cancer - and send it on to anyone else you think could benefit from learning the real facts and statistics about lung cancer.
The "color" to represent lung cancer is transparent, grey, white or pearl, which is meant to represent the fact that this disease is so often hidden. I personally think that whoever comes up with these things could learn a few things from the breast cancer awareness folks who've managed to get just about everything conceivable to become pink, especially in October, which everyone now knows is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Please help spread some of that awareness and publicity (and funding!) to Lung Cancer.
Thanks.

Teal is the color used for ovarian cancer, another hidden killer. You don't see that nearly as much as breast cancer pink. I'll watch the video and post it on my Facebook page.
