LCRF board member Colleen Conner Ziegler was quoted in an article about lung cancer screening on BlackDoctor.org. She talked about her own experience of when she received a diagnosis of advanced lung cancer at age 58.
“It took a visit to the hospital after coughing up blood to receive an accurate diagnosis after a chest X-ray and CT scan revealed a mass in my lungs,” she said. “That is why as a cancer community we need to educate on risks and symptoms of the disease, especially in underserved populations, because lives truly depend on it.”
