Lung cancer report:

Lung cancer report: "They said it was bronchitis" Health: self.com

"Montessa Lee's chest hurt. The stabbing pain that started in September 2006 seemed to come out of nowhere: She wasn't sick, exercised regularly, ate a healthy vegetarian diet and didn't smoke.

...lung cancer rates are higher among women who have never smoked than in male never-smokers. Experts suspect that estrogen—a female hormone that can act as a tumor promoter—may be one factor in the gender difference. And a delayed diagnosis could be deadly: Some tumors are fast-growing and can double in size in as few as two weeks, Dr. Bepler says.

"Anyone who has lungs can get lung cancer," Lee stresses. "

Does Cancer Make You Strong?

Great article...perspective that's not often discussed or acknowledged. The sentiment is intended to be kind, but it can also put a lot of pressure on a person to constantly have to hear how strong they are or that a positive attitude will make all the difference. Is it really that simple? Are we to feel like we're failing then when we're weak, sad, and generally sick of this crap?
