Ribbon Colors

I noticed on the other thread that I started a bit of a conversation about ribbons colors relation to different cancer types. We all know that breast cancer is pink but I have to admit that I don't know all of the colors and the cancers that they represent.

One of my sisters has a type of leukemia whose ribbon color is orange.

Funny, being a 12 yr lung cancer survivor, I didn't even know there was a ribbon for lung cancer awareness...which is pearl/white...
