At a certain age, most women start getting regular cancer screenings: Mammograms, colonoscopies, pap smears…and yet, not for lung cancer, even though lung cancer is the most common cancer death among women in the U.S. There is currently no universal screening for lung cancer, and perhaps as a result, by the time most women are diagnosed, the prognosis is dire. For Shira Kupperman Boehler, her unexpected lung cancer diagnosis has spurred her from being a patient, to an author and policy reformer. Kupperman Boehler is founder of CANCER DOESN’T CARE, an initiative focused on advancing early lung cancer detection and prevention-focused health policy, and she is author of ONE SCAN SAVED MY LIFE:  How One Woman’s Story Will Change The Way We Detect Lung Cancer.
