{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Governor Steve Beshear says Kentucky sees more than 24,000 new cases of cancer each year, and some 9,500 Kentuckians diagnosed with cancer die each year. Beshear was accompanied by several physicians in his Capitol briefing room Tuesday when he announced the formation of the Kentucky Cancer Foundation to generate money to cover the cost of screenings. Beshear has asked lawmakers to appropriate $1 million for the foundation, which would put up another $1 million to pay for cancer screenings.
