I have written a lot about the stigma of lung cancer. But change sometimes our perspective. I write today about the stigma of lung cancer in a new light. Taking into account the patient's breast cancer – recently.
On the one hand, I had the opportunity to experience a wee traces of "stigma" of cancer. You can also have raised questions. "You have a family history of breast cancer?" "Time you made your children?" "You were exposed to pesticides as a kid?" asked if I smoked or directly means that my "caused my cancer." But in spite of these issues.
