I am deeply concerned ...I sent my letter to Oprah.<br /><br />I am deeply concerned about the lung cancer crisis in the United States and in our home state of Washington. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among American men and women of all ethnicities. I lost both of my parents to lung cancer. My sister-in-law lost a lung to lung cancer. <br /><br />Even though both my daughter and I are breast cancer survivors, we know that more Americans die of lung cancer each year than from breast, prostate, and colon cancers combined. If we are to win the “war on cancer” (and we must), lung cancer must be made a national health priority.<br /><br />I implore you to do a show on lung cancer and tell how it has devastated families. In 2008 alone, more than 215,000 American men and women were diagnosed with lung cancer; tragically, 162,000 lost their lives to this deadly disease. Sixty percent of the newly diagnosed have never smoked or quit smoking decades ago. <br /><br />You are the most powerful woman in the world. I hope that you have had a chance to read Bonnie J. Addario’s BIG letter that was delivered to you today. Won’t you please do a show on this disease and bring it to the attention of everyone? <br /><br />One of your biggest fans,<br /><br />Jan StagnerJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156959350458886581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27077035.post-12471619955935374462009-05-21T14:13:19.064-07:002009-05-21T14:13:19.064-07:00Also, send this on to all your email contacts and ...Also, send this on to all your email contacts and post it on your FaceBook or MySpace pages - great way to spread word quickly.Deb Millarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27077035.post-54124206772262909992009-05-21T08:16:59.218-07:002009-05-21T08:16:59.218-07:00https://www.oprah.com/plugform.jsp?plugId=220
