Early detection saves lives. But symptoms often don’t appear until the disease has advanced, which is why screening for high-risk individuals is so critical. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening for lung cancer with a low-dose CT scan in adults 50-80 who have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke OR have quit within the last 15 years. If you’re concerned about lung cancer, we can schedule an appointment to understand your full risk profile and help you make informed, proactive choices. #eileenwestmd #lungcancerawarenessmonth

So much dedication, love, and strength goes into caring for someone else, whether it’s an aging parent, a partner facing illness, or a child with complex needs. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup! Caregivers are at higher risk for burnout, depression, sleep issues, and chronic stress-related conditions; and you may not notice it until your own health starts to suffer. If you're a caregiver, please take time this week to check in with yourself. You deserve that same compassion you so freely give to others. #eileenwestmd
