A non-smoker, Joe Toonen, diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, is fighting stigma and advocating for early detection awareness.
Joe Toonen, a non-smoking Appleton man, is raising awareness about lung cancer after being diagnosed with stage three cancer despite never smoking.
He initially mistook his symptoms for a heart issue.
Though most lung cancer cases occur in smokers, 10% to 20% affect nonsmokers, highlighting the need for early detection.
Toonen, now cancer-free, speaks out against the stigma linking lung cancer to smoking, which he says reduces research funding.
His nurse practitioner supports his message, urging people with unexplained symptoms to seek medical care regardless of smoking history.
