By the oddest and happiest of coincidences, this post has appeared just as I am listening to John Adams’s utterly excellent recording of his utterly excellent Son of Chamber Symphony, which was “commissioned for Stanford Lively Arts in honor of the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, November 2007, with generous support from Van and Eddie Van Auken, and by The Carnegie Hall Corporation, and made possible in part by The Swanson Foundation in honor of San Francisco Ballet’s 75th Anniversary.” Quite a mouthful, eh? The cd is a joy, and I hope this delightful and uplifting work will continue to be performed live and in person, forever casting shared glory on Mr. Adams’s benefactors, modern day equivalents of “the Magnificent” Prince Esterhazy.
Many early lung cancers are diagnosed as an incidental finding with a test for a different purpose, said the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. But when they do appear, knowing the warning signs of lung cancer may allow you to get screened earlier. Your body induces itself to cough in order to protect any particles from entering your airways and the lungs. A cough that doesn’t go away or worsens into a chronic cough, is one of the most common symptoms of lung cancer. If you are coughing up blood or rust-coloured spit/phlegm, see your doctor immediately.
