Excellent article & video on the scourge of lung cancer

On November 26, 2013, the Chicago Tribune ran this article about 31-year-old Meghan O'Brien, who has stage 4 lung cancer, and her battle against the stigma of lung cancer as a smoker's disease.  This stigma hurts lung cancer research and affects the type of support lung cancer fighters receive from others.  The money raised for research of lung cancer doesn't hold a candle to breast cancer.  Lung cancer is the top cancer killer and most people don't even recognize that November is lung cancer month - there are no ribbons, sports teams or merchandise calling for lung cancer support.  Meghan's story is further detailed in this video.

Please take a look at these materials and share them with others.  And one last favor, when you come across a person who has lung cancer, don't ask them if they smoked.  More and more, the answer is no, but either way it doesn't matter.  Nobody deserves this wretched disease.
