Answer:
I have often wondered this myself. It seems like breast cancer gets all the attention. Don't get me wrong, I think that what they are doing for breast cancer is amazing and a great thing, I just wish the other cancers would get as much publicity and attention.My mother died of lung cancer about 4 years ago. This cancer is vicious and kills so many. I don't think people undersand how many it affects and that it is killing so many people each year! FYI
~Lung cancer is known as the silent killer
~November is national lung cancer month (never seen anything done for it but it is there)
~A white or clear ribbon is the color for lung cancer
~More people die from lung cancer each year than any other cancer
~In 2003 lung cancer accounted for more deaths than breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer combined
~Among men in the United States, lung cancer is the second most common cancer among white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native men, and the third most common cancer among Hispanic men. Among women in the United States, lung cancer is the second most common cancer among white and American Indian/Alaska Native women, and the third most common cancer among black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Hispanic women.You would think with these statistics, lung cancer would be getting some serious attention!
the number of people with breast cancer is higher than the number of people with lung cancer. also, it seems more people are getting breast cancer than lung cancer. experts still arent sure what causes lung cancer besides smoking and certain chemicals. they know what causes breast cancer, so they are spreading the word about what they know, not what they dont know.
idk, but they have more ppl in breast cancer thats y they have adds saying to donate money, to help it stop spreading. they have fewer ppl in lung cancer.
Have you ever heard, "follow the money"? Breast cancer research is like the 2nd largest Industry in the world. Cancer is cancer and wherever it can find an open receptor cell it will take hold to divide and conquer. You will never hear from the medical establishment of a way to stop cancer, 1- because they'd put themselves out of work, 2- because they spend a lot of advertising dollars so the advertising giants aren't going to want to have their cash cow butchered. Fortunately more and more people are learning how to support their body's immune system so they can stay well so they do not have to be a customer of the cancer industry. You know the old saying?- an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of .
I KNOW WAT U MEAN!! my aunt rose had lukemia and thats almost never mentioned!
