Join us for the 5th Annual Shine a Light on Lung Cancer Vigil, the largest internationally coordinated awareness event for lung cancer on November 14th at 5:30pm at Hope Cancer Resources. The vigil provides our community with hope, support and compassion for all those affected by this disease-from survivor to patient to loved ones. This event empowers millions of participants to join this historic movement as we united in one call to action: to triple survivorship by the end of this decade. For many, the vigil provides a sense that they are not alone. Through the vigil, they are able to experience a growing community of supportive and caring individuals. The lighting of glow sticks to honor survivors and loved ones is the highlight of the vigil.  Registration is free. The difference you'll make is priceless. Sign up today!

Lung Cancer Screening

Have you smoked in the past?  Or... Are you a current smoker?  If so, lung cancer screening may be an option for you.  

The Center for Chest Care now has a website where you can find the answers to commonly asked questions regarding the benefits of lung cancer screening along with risk factors for developing lung cancer.  

www.screenforlungcancer.com

If you are 50 years or older, have a long history of smoking, exposure to occupational or environmental cancer causing substances, and/or have a family history of lung cancer, then this screening could be right for you.  Call 479.695.0081 for an appointment or more information.  

"Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. With over 200,000 new diagnoses per year and over 160,000 deaths per year, lung cancer is responsible for more deaths each year than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. Primarily because it is discovered in advanced stages. There is an enormous benefit to detecting lung cancer at its early stages. A screening CT gives the best chance for early detection." from www.screenforlungcancer.com
