Join Barbara Cochran and Dr. Thomas Polucki every Wednesday from Noon to 1 PM on your Hometown Station KHTS 98.1 FM & AM 1220 for The Senior Hour, your home for Senior Care and Lifestyle.

On this episode of The Senior Hour, Hosts Barbara Cochran & Dr. Thomas Polucki talk with Director of Cancer Program Dr. May Lin Tao and Patrick Moody both of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital about November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. As with most illnesses, early prevention is vital and a regular visit to your doctor can help greatly.

Lung cancer screenings are very common for both current and former smokers to diagnose and therefore treat a possible cancer. Many times, a patient may not have symptoms and an early screening is helpful. To bring awareness, Tower Imaging at Henry Mayo is hosting an open house offering low dose CT scans on Saturday, November 11th from 9am-2pm. Additionally, Wednesday, November 15th is the final Girl Talk event of 2023. During this event, participants have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of medical professionals, this month specifically focused on lung health.
