November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month

November is lung cancer awareness month. White ribbons apparently represents this awareness. :) Let's all spread this awareness around. It is also pancreatic cancer awareness month (in the US).

Early this morning I got a text message from my girl friend telling me one of our good friend's father passed away yesterday. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 4 months ago. Condolences to him and his family.

I didn't know november is Lung Cancer Month. I guess it doesn't get much attention compared to breast cancer. Thanks for the heads up...I shall be supporting.
