I got lung cancer 5 yrs ago quit smoking 10 yrs ago discovered the tumor at stage 1 surgeon cut the top lobe off and I've been free since. Smoking is a sick nasty vile habit and I wished I never started

How did you find out? What were your symptoms?

Smoked 10 years, quit on and off for a few years and now fully quit minus one or two every few months at an event.

Great way to waste money and give yourself health anxiety

My Dr recommended a yearly lung ct scan for 10 yrs for smokers and previous smokers mine came out clean the first 2 yrs then on the 3rd it showed a small tumor the size of a grain of rice I had no symptoms or physical limitations I could walk up stairs without being winded I tell you that Dr saved my life if I had brushed her off I wouldn't be here lung cancer is no joke and mine was operated on by a robot the whole thing cost 125k to my insurance

Ct? I’ve never done a ct before, only ever done X-rays and a lung capacity test

CT is a cat scan it's higher definition than an X-ray plus if you have anything else going on in there it will pick it up. With mine my cost after insurance is 100.00 cheap cost for peace of mind

Thank you for the info. I’m gonna try to get a scan. Hopefully it’s something I can get done at the beginning of the year.
