November Is Lung Cancer Awareness Month.
Over 200,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2009. Lung cancer not only affects patients but also families and loved ones. CancerCare offers free, professional counseling and practical support to anyone coping with a lung cancer diagnosis through its National Lung Cancer Program.
In addition, CancerCare’s online resource, www.lungcancer.org, provides reliable information to anyone affected by lung cancer. Learn more about the full range of services CancerCare offers to people facing lung cancer, including: counseling, support groups, financial assistance, publications and educational workshops.
You can also read stories of people who are coping with lung cancer and share your own story to help inspire others; and post a message in honor of a loved one on our Virtual Wall of Hope.
Listen to CancerCare’s upcoming Connect Education Workshops over the telephone or via live streaming through the internet (registration is required):
