Reality Life with Kate Casey

Kate met Shira Boehler when they were both parents at the same preschool, and the two quickly became great friends.   Late last year, after a preventative screening, Shira was unexpectedly diagnosed with lung cancer, despite having no symptoms and never smoking. Early detection allowed her to undergo surgery and successfully treat the cancer.   Now, Shira is determined to make lung cancer screenings accessible to everyone, especially women. She is the author of One Scan Saved My Life and the creator of the cancerdoesntcare foundation, which supports lung screening access and research.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecaseySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
