Lung cancer is the second most common cancer (not counting skin cancer) in both men and women, only behind prostate in men and breast in women. Although it is the second most common, it remains the leading cause of cancer death in America. Approximately 1 in 5 cancer deaths a year are attributed to lung cancer. More Americans die every year of Lung cancer than colon, prostate and breast cancer combined. Lung cancer is considered a silent killer and is often diagnosed at a late stage, when treatment options are limited and survival rates are low. The greatest advancement in the care of lung cancer occurred in the early 2000s after the national lung cancer screening trial, which cemented the knowledge that early detection of lung cancer with low dose CT scans saves lives. Early detection through screening is crucial in improving outcomes for individuals at high risk of developing lung cancer.

The evening of Sunday, August 11th was an evening filled with hugs, laughs and many tears. On that evening the family of Braxton Kreber was presented with a beautiful bench. The bench was given to the family from the Class of 2028 in honor of their recently passed classmate, Braxton Kreber. The bench boasts a plaque that has the inscription “A true friend is never truly gone. Their spirit lives on in the memories of those who loved them.” The class of 2028 not only gave Mike and Amy the beautiful bench, but also gave them a card with a monetary donation and an amazing bouquet of flowers from the Colleen Martin family. There was also a Peter’s family reunion being held at Wagner Lake that Sunday. Amy’s family members wanted to be a part of the celebration and support Braxton’s classmates. They served root beer floats and passed out memorial bracelets, to thank Braxton’s classmates. Almost half of the 2028 class was able to come out to the Wagner Lake to attend the presentation of the bench to the family with 24 of the 55 members of the class there. The class of 2028 started their freshman year of high school this past Thursday, August 15th missing Braxton’s radiant smile.
