Lung cancer is number three on this list. My wife had lung cancer 5 years ago. She has never smoked. There is a stigma associated with lung cancer in that those afflicted did it to themselves. My wife did nothing to harm her lungs. There is an entire wing dedicated to breast cancer at Stonybrook University hospital in NY. The oncology wing serves everyone else. It's a political football as to which disease is the disease of the decade. It use to be polio, and MS. Now its breast cancer. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The other wheels simply get f***ed.
