Tony Goldwyn & I have something in common. We both lost our mothers to #LungCancer.
Their lives could have been saved by CT screening. I do it annually, as does my kid sister. We know LC is usually diagnosed advanced stage. It’s important to catch it early.
Pass it on.

It’s a myth that hepatitis B only spreads via sex or shared drug equipment. It can be on any item or surface that’s been in contact with blood & can live outside the body for days.
The CDC provided some real-world data on community/household transmission of Hep B at the last ACIP meeting.
It happens.

“We probably should be screening a larger population, because we’re finding it if you look at these different groups,” www.nbcnews.com/health/cance... #LungCancer #lcsm #cancer
These women were diagnosed with lung cancer. They weren't eligible for screening.
Researchers at Northwestern Medicine found that 65% of their lung cancer patients weren't eligible for screening. They were likelier to be female, Asian American or nonsmokers.
