In the last 4 years I have had 4 brothers and sisters diagnosed with lung cancer. One Stage 1, one Stage 2, One Stage 3 and One Stage 4. Sadly we lost our brother 5 weeks after his diagnosis. What surprised me the most is how some people think they brought it on themselves for smoking. There are other things that cause lung cancer. My sister who had Stage 3 still struggles with infections and coughing. I just wish as much emphasis and funding was given to lung cancer as it is breast cancer.
