Lung Foundation

November, Lung Cancer Awareness Month

In November, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we should focus on the needs and the achievements of the past year. Patients with lung cancer, and those who love them, have great physical and emotional needs.
The Australian Lung Foundation is working globally, nationally and locally to meet these special needs.

• LungNet_Can Help is a project designed to build patient support groups for lung cancer patients, their families and carers.
• This month, we seek to support patients with lung cancer and hope that you support us.
