I see in my practice. Statistics show every three minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with lung cancer. A recent report shows an explosion in the number of women being diagnosed. Doctors say 50 percent of people diagnosed with lung cancer die within eight months. No question, the majority of lung cancer patients I see are not going to beat their disease.
Lung cancer kills more people every year than colon, breast and prostate cancer combined.
It's got a bad reputation. They did this to themselves, it's their fault. We, as a society, are not responsible for that, don't owe them anything. It is true that 85 percent of all lung cancer cases are smoking related, and more than 50 percent of all people currently being diagnosed are former smokers. But some people, such as Bill Keck quit 27 years ago.
