## Resource

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, yet up to two-thirds of patients wouldn’t qualify for a routine scan under current federal guidelines. Today, we are joined by health advocate Shira Boehler, founder of the Cancer Doesn’t Care Foundation and author of One Scan Saved My Life, to dismantle the myths surrounding this silent epidemic. In this episode, we unpack: The Shocking Diagnosis: How a perfectly healthy, non-smoking marathon runner detected Stage 1 lung cancer with zero warning signs. The Flawed Guidelines: Why current medical criteria focus strictly on age and smoking history, leaving young adults and women completely exposed. The Medical Stigma: Shira addresses the hidden biases of lung cancer and why self-advocacy is your ultimate weapon. Taking Control: The exact steps and screening protocols you need to protect your own health, regardless of what your insurer or doctor says. Learn more about your ad choices.
