November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month | |
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial time to shine a light on a disease that doesn't discriminate, affecting even non-smokers like Sonia Irusta, Vice President of the Bureau of Dangerous Goods. Despite common misconceptions, anyone can be at risk of lung cancer, making early detection vital. By staying informed and vigilant about lung health, we can improve survival rates and ultimately save lives. Learn more about Sonia's journey and consider donating by clicking the button below. | |
