Last week SW, my sweetie, wrote a great piece for Consano addressing Lung Cancer Awareness. I thought it was great. I must share it too!
From Consano Blog:
An Intimate Awareness of Lung Cancer
My grandfather, his fingers yellowed by tobacco from smoking unfiltered Pall Mall cigarettes for more than 50 years, died from a combination of prostate cancer, emphysema, and alcoholism. He didn’t have lung cancer, but if you pay attention to all of the anti-smoking ads, then you’d think he should have or at least only people like him – old folks who smoked a lot of cigarettes for a lot of years.
I believed the ads. I believed that smokers got lung cancer. I held that belief up until the day my wife was diagnosed with lung cancer. Read the rest of the post here.
I’ve shared my thoughts on Consano before. I’m a fan of the concept of crowdfunding for medical research. To see a list of their current projects click here.
I might borrow them as well. I don’t have much to say right now. Xoxo

You – nothing to say? This must be a first! 🙂
This was an excellent article…hopefully this gets passed around through everyone’s sphere…really good.
Well done and thanks for writing/sharing.

SW says thank you.
Nicely written, SW.
You made him blush or the equivalent – he put his phone down and smiled. 🙂
Excellent article. I will pass along
Thanks, Randy Broad
