I totally agree with what he says every time you tell someone you had lung cancer the 1st thing I think is you shouldn't never smoked which never have.
Absolutely! It's so insulting to attempt to blame anyone with cancer as if they did something to cause it - like you deserve it. Such a stigma about lung cancer!

Right? More importantly, they should first get their medical facts in order BEFORE talking all psychology/sociology. Here for instance, we only know that after 60 days so 2 months, many of his tumors had shrunk and some disappeared. But after that, we know nothing, it's all very vague. Did they shrink further? Did more tumors disappear? After how long? And after how long did they stop shrinking? Apparently, after 3,5 years the tumors are stable but still there. But again, it is vague. What happened with the mets to the liver, lymph nodes etc? How big are the tumors? Why is it still not operable apparently? What did the doctor say?

Thinking of you.

You did the best that you could do at the moment. You got in and got your diagnosis. Hopefully you are still doing well and living life
I just had surgery for stage 1 lung cancer. I've never smoked A-day in my life either.
Lillian, wishing you a speedy and good recovery. -Stephanie
