Lung Cancer Connection’s mission is to raise awareness, increase patient and family support, and to advocate for greater funding for lung cancer research, screening, and treatment. We are focused on increasing lung cancer survivorship in the St. Louis region and across the state of Missouri.
Lung Cancer Connection’s mission is to raise awareness, increase patient and caregiver support, and advocate for the prevention, early detection, treatment, and research of lung cancer. We are focused on decreasing new lung cancer cases, detecting it earlier, and increasing the number of lung cancer survivors.
Funds from St. Louis Men’s Group Against Cancer are used to support our patient port pillow and resource bag program. Lung Cancer Connection provides free port pillows and resource bags to newly diagnosed lung cancer patients through local hospital cancer centers and other locations. They can also be mailed. Port pillows protect a patient’s port from the car seat belt and the resource bags provide them with much needed information and support. This grant is used to help pay for these resources.
