There is 1 comment on Detecting Lung Cancer Early

  1. Barbara I was scanned early as part of a veterans day free cancer scan by our local Well star Health system. I was Screened on November 12 2012 and notified me on 12 Nov at 2:30pm that they had found a spot on my left lung. I was seen by the surgeon the same week and surgery was done December 3 2012. THANK GOD FOR EARLY SCREENING my cancer was as a result of over 30 years of smoking and over 20 years of work with asbestos. I had A! and lost half my left lung along with lymph’s but no further treatment was needed . I now go every 6 months for CT scan and follow-up and am now 2and 1half years cancer free. My surgeon Dr. Wm Mayfield gave me another chance by catching it early. Emil R Infusino. Dallas Georgia
