It’s 1 November - the start of Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the launch of the third year of #AllYouNeedIsLungs! πŸ’Ÿ

We’re sharing over 30 real voices this year - all ages & backgrounds who want others to recognise the signs sooner.

Because lung cancer doesn’t have one face. #LCSM

I was in my early 40’s when I was diagnosed with lung cancer. This article is the story shared by many women like me.

A 30-year Delhi study shows how #lungcancer risk is changing: in 1988, 90% of surgical patients were smokers. By 2018, just 50%. Among those under 30, none had smoked. It shows how lung cancer risks are changing. (Economic Times) #AllYouNeedIsLungs #LCSM

Being there for someone with #lungcancer isn’t just β€œstaying strong.”
It’s fear, exhaustion, uncertainty, & grief that no one sees.

Our free TALK+ emotional wellbeing course gives carers a safe space to share honestly & find support.

This is interesting but the data used is old. I’m sure those numbers have improved since 2018.

This answers my question, β€œhow did they survive in the past without air conditioning?” They didn’t need it for the couple days it was warm-ish.

πŸ†• study: People who eat the most ultra-processed foods may have a 40% higher risk of #lungcancer.

πŸ“Š 100k+ adults, 12 yrs
🚭 Risk remained even in never-smokers

Need to understand more, but another reason to stope assuming lung cancer is only caused by smoking.

This is how we should treat each other. When we hurt we are carried across the finish line. No one gets left behind.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care.Β Other states must follow.

To be fair, he did warn us all that we were never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

In 2019, NEH funded an oral history project at UTSA (Humanities Initiatives at HSIs) to help preserve the voices of women who proudly served in the military, capturing stories from WWII through today. shorturl.at/Mdcc5

Shameful that this grant program has been cut by our "acting" chairman.
