SAN DIEGO — The only lung cancer walk recognized by the American Lung Association in California happened Saturday morning at Liberty Station. Every person who participated walked for a reason.Some recently lost a family member.
“It was painful, anger. I tried to suppress it," Goodn-Dottin said."That didn’t work well. This is the healthy thing to do."“Around December, he was able to go in for surgery to get it taken out,” Augusto Vega said.“It's not curable,” Tafua said. “So we’re trying to adjust to that new reality.” Forty-three others joined her as well. They were one of many groups that came to walk. In total, they helped raise around $180,000 for the American Lung Association, supporting more research for a cure.According to the Association, only 1% of eligible California residents have been screened for lung cancer. It’s a disturbingly low number considering that it is the number one cancer killer in the United States.“Just doing your scans when you can. Don’t skip them.
