World Lung Cancer Day Prevention and Early Detection

Tomorrow marks the day for worldwide awareness for one of the deadliest cancers. Lung cancer affects 1 in 16 with a very low survival rate. The resources at our fingertips are crucial at helping our friends, family and loved ones stay healthy and maintain a prosperous life. Below is a great resource from the American Cancer Society on Prevention and Early Detection that could save lives and help those who are diagnosed with lung cancer.
