Hello Tracy,

Help us make some noise in June:

• Spike out lung cancer, support the Marina Green Volleyball Open 
• Calling All Patients: UCSF still needs 79 more questionnaires completed for their study on stigma and quality of life. Please help. Takes about 30 minutes.
• Got a joke? We're doing a joke a day on Twitter to lighten the load for patients and caregivers. Send us your joke (140 characters) to jokes@beverlyfund.org - keep 'em clean. 

Sincerely,

  Get Involved!

Patient Survey on Stigma

The University of California at San Francisco is conducting a study into the stigma associated with lung cancer. "We realize that this stigma affects how lung cancer patients seek treatment, interact with people around them, and feel about their diagnosis. We feel that by understanding the stigma, we can help lung cancer patients have a better quality of life."

The UCSF Lung Cancer Stigma, Symptom Severity, and Quality of Life Study seeks to understand the opinions and experiences of ALL persons with lung cancer including smokers, ex-smokers, and NEVER smokers. We understand that attitudes and opinions about lung cancer affect all persons with lung cancer, regardless of your smoking status or if you never smoked a cigarette in your life.
