November is #LungCancerAwarenessMonth and we encourage everyone to learn about and buy a radon test kit here: https://t.co/WDuQF42O3W
In 2014, Alyson went in for her annual physical, and after a few more tests, she was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer.
As a non-smoker, Alyson tested her house and realized they had very high radon levels, which is linked to lung cancer. When she and her partner found out, they had Radon mitigation.
“It is also very important to get the word out about radon. When our neighbours heard about our high radon levels, a few of them also tested. A lot were fine, but some had high levels and we were able to tell them which company we used to mitigate it,” Alyson says. Despite having a tough few years, Alyson continues to live her life as fully as possible, spending quality time with her family and friends.
Yours and your family’s safety starts with understanding what radon is and testing your home to ensure your levels aren’t high. This month, you can also take action and join the KnowVember Contest and help spread awareness about the cancer risks associated with elevated levels of radon!
