Addario Lung Cancer Foundation in 2006 along with the Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute in 2008, and is now co-founder and chair of the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer (2019). A determined activist on behalf of patients suffering from the disease, Bonnie has built an extraordinary global network of fellow activists, patients, doctors, oncologists, researchers, and caregivers--a thriving and ever-growing community devoted and committed to advocating on behalf of those patients and families affected by the disease. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong all cancers, none are more pernicious than lung cancer. Nearly 150,000 Americans are lost to the disease every year, amounting to around 400 every single day. It accounts for one-third of all cancer diagnoses, the most deaths of any cancer and as many losses as the next three most deadly cancers (breast, prostate, and colon) combined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Living Room\u003c\/i\u003e, which draws its name from a virtual support group live-streamed internationally once a month by Bonnie's foundation, tells the stories of twenty lung cancer patients who have bravely fought the disease and found ways to thrive, not just to survive. The goal of Bonnie's efforts is to break down the barriers and stigmas associated with lung cancer and demonstrate how the new wave of treatment options are moving to make it a manageable disease. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe people you will meet in \u003ci\u003eThe Living Room\u003c\/i\u003e will lead you to believe that miracles are all around us, that they're happening every day, and that they just might happen to the next cancer patient who picks up this book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll proceeds from \u003c\/i\u003eThe Living Room\u003ci\u003e will go directly to research and patient services.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Post Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642937367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320","brand":"Bonnie J.
