I have Lung Cancer, and had my left lung removed along with 17 Lymph nodes...1 with Cancer.
Back a little way....July..2009.
Went to Skin Specialist...had frekle on my nose and something above my top lip.The Dr confirmed Skin Cancer (SCC) from sunbaking all those years ago (plus adding oil to burn!!)
One on my Nose..cut out..one above my Lip, Radiation for near 6 weeks.
Just about 12 month to the Day...the same "Cancer" in my left lung.
Lung Cancer doesn't care who it takes anymore.....and too many people are dying...that have never smoked.
I would like to see the comments of people ...what you think about this subject...as I feel there is a Real Stigma between Lung Cancer and Smoking.
The first question asked is...are you / do you Smoke?
Thank you in advance xo

I feel for you with this terrible diagnosis, and wish you all the best. My sister died from lung cancer some years ago, she was only 50 and had never been a smoker. Hers was secondary to breast cancer of 13 years previous, even though she has a mastectomy and chemotherapy. It came back just two months after our dad died and she was just getting over that. Life really is so unfair sometimes. We have the assurance that she is in heaven as we are all committed christians and know that Jesus is our Lord and Saviour, and He can carry us through the toughest of times. God bless you.
