Hi just found out he has lung cancer.
He's 76 so they won't operate so it's chemo and I pray it works. It's very sad.

Its not the first time I hear a non-smoker gets lung cancer. Back in 2000, I was living with a girl that had lung cancer at 13 years old and had to take part of her left lung out. Later on, at 26, she got eusophagus (sp?) cancer... She's doing fine now, so there's always hope.
But I do wonder about that whole cancer thing. I've known many healthy ppl who led a very healthy life ending up dying from cancer before 40 years old... On the other hand you have ppl that smoked and drank all their lives and are still among us at 85. Go figure.
I hope your grandfather will be okay. We never know how things will turn out, dont lose hope!Last edited by Mediachick; 02-28-2007, 09:02 AM.Comment

TurboAngel - I read only the other day that unfortunately 40% of newly presented lung cancer patients are ex-smokers - with a median average of cessation of 9 years.
Basically if youve smoked (as I have) - it stays with you even if you give up.
Sorry to hear your story - but keep your chin up.

I am sorry for that ... members of my family died from cancer too.
It's horrible.
Lung Cancer is NOT caused by cigarrettes EXCLUSIVELY. Some people think "oh well, he died of it and he didn't smoke ... , so I guess it's not bad for you after all", but of course ... it DOES accelerate the possible risk of getting lung cancer.
Your Gramps is unlucky but hopefully he'll pull through it, as people can do. Good luck to him.

Sorry to hear it TurboAngel - take comfort that he has had such a good long run so far. both of my grandmothers died of smoking related lung disease pretty young (cancer and emphazema), and one of them was only 58.

It's such a bad habit. 100 years from now I hope people look back at history and wonder why people even smoked.Comment

Thank you all for being so nice. He said he's read to fight it, my dad and I were surprised he is so adamant about beating it. My Gram died in 92 of bone cancer and we didn't think he would live long with out her but he has.
My other Grandad is now 91 he also smoked for ever but has quit for 20 years now I think.Comment

Jesus, i'm sorry to hear that
