✨ Health equity in lung cancer care
✨ Inclusion of women and young adults in research

Too many women experience delays in diagnosis, feel unheard in their care, and face added burdens as caregivers, professionals, and patients. It’s time to change that and for us as a community to join together and bring awareness to these issues.

During Women’s Health Month, we’re asking:

👉 “What changes do you want to see in lung cancer care for women?”

Thank you so much for sharing with us and sharing this reminder! #anyonewithlungscangetlungcancer #hearher

I was 44, healthy, and never smoked. I was misdiagnosed with pneumonia seven appointments before anyone mentioned cancer. You don’t have to smoke to get lung cancer. You just have to have lungs. Trust your instincts. Ask the hard questions. Push for answers. Your voice could be what saves your life.

Happy Women’s Health Month everyone! This month especially we want to take the opportunity to keep spotlighting women in our community! This week we have a very special message from lunglifebalance!

📢 That’s why we’re voting for Dr. @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social a trailblazer in research, mentorship, and global equity in cancer care.
