I am humbled that My Lung Cancer Odyssey
continues to raise awareness of lung cancer, specifically the stigmas. …

Remember these symptoms …
BREATHE
Blood in cough
Recurring respiratory infections
Enduring cough that is new or different
Ache or pain in shoulder, back, or chest
Trouble breathing
Hoarseness or wheezing
Exhaustion or weakness
If any of these symptoms are troubling you see
a doctor.
