Unfortunately, the number of lung cancer survivors doesn’t compare with the many other types of cancer survivors. There’s only an estimated 2-4% five-year survival rate for those lung cancer patients diagnosed in late stage—and most individuals are diagnosed in late state because there are usually no symptoms that would shout out to the individual “You may have lung cancer.” Many lung cancers are discovered by accident. Radon-induced lung cancer takes the lives of an estimated 21,000+individuals each year.
Radon cannot be detected
through our senses. The only
way to know of its presence
is to perform an easy test.
My prediction and prayer is that the new normal will be that most homes, schools and workplaces will be tested for radon;everyone will know that radioactive radon exposure is the leading environmental cause of cancer mortality, the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the leading cause of death in the home. This can be accomplished with legislation, health policies, and a change of attitude by placing the lives of our citizens first and foremost in our actions.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, please test your home for radon, fix it if the level is high, and do your part in helping to save lives by sharing your knowledge about radon.
Join our CRUSADE.
Below are voices of some of those individuals affect by radon-induced lung cancer:
