It is actually 3 years and 5 months since our beloved Eartha met her untimely and fateful lung cancer demise.<br />
<br />
I, her daughter continue the fight, please understand that this is a fight, not only do I have to solidify and ensure the i's and t's are in place in continuing this foundation as a permanent foundation, but ensure that the purpose and our walk in lung cancer awareness is felt. <br />
<br />
The truth about lung cancer is very real:<br />
<br />
<strong>-It takes away a loved one</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It either makes you stronger or weaker</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It educates you in just how special the lungs and our survival really are... sometimes too late</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It makes you stronger in embracing your faith</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It makes you angry that they're elements that contribute to the disease, and perfectly fine in</strong><br />
<strong>being displayed on store shelves</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It brings families together</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-It tears families apart</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>-Smoking and lung cancer are not taken seriously, until you're personally affected</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The truth about lung cancer is that it sucks, and if more people take the consequences more seriously and bombard these law- makers and politicians that we need to be heard, then our fight continues to fall on deaf ears.<br />
<br />
MBF anniversary is pushed backed- but trust and believe we will still make our mark in lung cancer awareness... especially for the borough of Brooklyn, NY.<br />
<br />

It's a breezy cold Sunday and the weekend just as so many is going by quickly. This month I<br />
celebrated another birthday and thankful for that, but bittersweet as those once in my life <br />
are no longer here in the physical form to help me celebrate....<br />
<br />
I'm watching the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825232/">The Bucket</a> list with actors Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman. I absolutely love this movie and it's so fitting for all ages. The bottom line is we go off in life trying to achieve the dream we concoct that will make us happy, whether this is marriage, children, education, career, and being famous, or what have you, but when a doctor enters your room and approaches you with those strange and foreign words<br /><strong>You Have Cancer</strong>... those life achievements seem so bittersweet, as many of us feel there's just so many more things left to do. <br />
<br />
The concept of writing that list of things to aspire to achieve before you die is a self fulfillment and a gesture to make your last journey as doable (if you will) to your own standards. Chemo and treatment may be in the midst but having a handle on how and what you want this journey to go in your final days, should be live in the moment for the future is not promised.<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Bucket List:</u></strong><br />
<strong>-T</strong>ravel to that place you always dreamed but never went forth to book that ticket<br />
-<strong>D</strong>o that activity that you never thought you had it in you to do<br />
-<strong>L</strong>augh... it's okay to stop taking life so seriousness now<br />
<br />
Know that we will not finish everything we wish to do in our lifetime, but doing<strong> you</strong> at this time in life is a necessity!<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Who
would know this with the fanfare of the other cancer flourished in pink that
November holds a special time. Well we at <a href="http://www.maesbreath.org/">Mae’s Breath</a> will do our best to
shout from our lungs (no pun taking) to share and do our part. I’m so excited
about the work we have in store for the following year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lung
cancer is still one of the most serious and severe cancers that continually
affect loved ones, and I pray that one day it will be irradiated. As we all
know the face of lung cancer can be any of us…. Or did you know this? Even if
you picked up a cig 20 years ago, you may or may not be affected. If you inhale
second hand smoke you may be affected. What we’ve learn is that cancer is in us
and it take a shift that brings these little demons out. We recent lost the
brave soul of former smoker and advocate <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/campaign/tips/stories/terrie.html">Terri Hall</a> at 53. She was infamous
showing us her daily routine of making herself up with wig and makeup all while
speaking with a hole in her throat. I personally salute this woman of courage
and all blessings to her family for a life cut so very short. As I end this
here, I also want to say many blessings to the beautiful Rita Owens, the mother
of my queen – Dana Owen- a.k.a. Queen Latifah. I almost fell through the floor
when I heard and saw the accounts of the elder Ms. Owens. Ms. Rita I hope you
beat this if you happen upon this site!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
families and caregivers understand all too well that we are effective in huge
numbers and I pray that one day the color of ivory is just as significant as we
squash this bug, that has taken and affected so many of our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0in 0in 10pt; mso-background-themecolor: background1;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Lastly,
I want to say –Miss you so dearly mother dear Mae, whom this effort is
dedicated too. My life will never be the same, and I will continue in my way
big or small to continue my advocacy on this dreaded cancer known as lung
cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I can't wait to see what God has in store for his children on the move. We move forward with newer and brighter experiences for Mae's Breath. We welcome our new relationships and our old. We are gracious for every big and small experience, and now we continue to grow and continue to make a stance for the new year coming.<br />
<br />
My mother would be so proud that many people have stuck around for her memory. One effort that I would like to push here on this blog is a weekly review of updates lung cancer medicines, theories, and or news. <br />
<br />
Recently I heard of the passing of an influentual writer Lori Hope who shed light on her experience with lung cancer. I'm sadden by her recent death because it just stirs the thought that as we go on with coping with this disease - it's very real that anything can happen at anytime, while we cope.<br />
<br />
I pray that this new year of all things is a HEALTHY year for us all. I wish you my readers the very best, and cheers to you and yours for a brighter and bigger new year.<br />
<br />
Many blessings from Mae's Breath<br />

When I got home </span><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">that evening I dozed off to awaken from channel 7 news speaking of the Queen and</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Her death may have been due to <strong>lung cancer</strong>. I shivered when I heard the last part –<strong>Lung cancer</strong>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The following day on the radio they spoke of how she felt her illness may have stemmed from the 9/11 twin towers catastrophe 12 years ago, as she lived close to the vicinity at that time. Quite honestly it wouldn’t be a surprise as so many people who lived, assisted, escaped on that day, have been diagnosed with some very uncommon illnesses years later.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Another reason why the plight of lung cancer is such a big deal; we have more and more people affected yet bringing awareness to lung cancer is barely being heard. We will continue to do our part at Mae’s Breath Foundation- little by little. </span><br />

I just wanted to let those of you who follow our site and blog of some news we have in store for the foundation. First let me say this has been a wonderful experience and my mom would have been proud. We appreciate the volunteers, and audience who came out to show us love on March 3rd- Inhale Hope- Exhale the Stigma. It was absolutely informative .... and this is what we at Mae's Breath want to accomplish. We want to properly assist those with lung cancer diagnosis and proper education and care.<br />
<br />
Lung cancer is not to be fooled with, the statistics are slim and time is of the essence!<br />
<br />
This summer, we will debut our on-line support chat group, we hope you will stop by and join and or spread the word. We're also working to appear at some health fairs in 2012 in New York.<br />
We are excited and want to do our part in spreading the word on lung cancer awareness.<br />
<br />
Well that's it for now, but stay tuned for some more news and insights.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
Yolanda<br />

Just as we corrected our post with correction, it was confirmed that Sunday afternoon that he indeed passed away on Sunday.</strong><br />
<br />
Lung cancer doesn't matter if you're well known, Black or White, young or old, smoker or non-smoker-<br />
when it hails it hails hard. It makes one think how serious a cough should be taken as this diseaese is #1 in taking lives. How serious is it when breathing is compromised?<br />
<br />
Just the question is absurd considering to breathe is to life, just as water and food....<br />
<br />
We want to stop announcements alerting the public of deaths from lung cancer,<br />
it's time to bring awareness to lung cancer to the forefront.<br />

We know that there is a huge misconception that lung cancer only happens to those that smoke, better yet the stigma of that's what happens when you smoke.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">This is not the thinking we should display to those facing this horrid cancer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Have you ever held you breath for more than a minute? It's hard isn't it? Well think how difficult when you are faced with lung cancer.... the lungs are infected with cells that basically cut ones mechanism to breathe.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">I've seen it and it's not a pleasant thing to witness, nor is it nice to say a person deserves lung cancer because of their choices. Now is the time to cut the stigma, because it's this warped thinking that has not pushed for the proper funding and awareness that is necessary<strong>- To Breathe Should Not be Discriminatory.....</strong></span><br />

<br />
The drug crizotinib (Xalkori), manufactured by Pfizer and approved last week by the Food and Drug Administration, is intended for a small number of patients. <br />
The twice-daily capsules are meant for patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have a unique gene known as an abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK). An ALK gene causes cancer growth and development. <br />

The scientists worked with an admittedly small number of canines — just four, including two German shepherds, a Lab and an Australian shepherd — but the dogs had good success. They were able to suss out cancer in 71 out of 100 breath samples from lung cancer patients, and were able to correctly identify 93% of cancer-free samples, giving them an impressively low rate of false positives.<br />
