68. Good luck. Depending on the cell type in the lesion, there may be excellent treatments.

These were not available when my father - also a smoker - got lung cancer.

I visited my sister-in-law this weekend, a cancer survivor, she's in her 7th year of remission.

All the best of luck.

So maybe you don't have lung cancer. If you do, a nodule that size can be removed Croney Sep 2022 #12
My doc has told me already that it is cancer, murielm99 Sep 2022 #13
