lung cancer questions
| Tue, 08-22-2006 - 10:53pm |
Hello. My mother was just diagnosed with lung cancer. She has very little information right now. It is a 1x1 inch size on the lower left part of the lung. She is scheduled for a PET scan but it isn't for a week.
Questions:
Is that normal to wait that long?
She hasn't smoked for 35 years. Is this cancer due to the smoking from so long ago or can there be another environmental factor?
Thank you for your insight
