I am 39 yrs old and was diagnosed with lung cancerr non small cell at 37 yr old after the tumor being spotted in 2007 but Drs did nothing.In 2010 i went in complaing with left shooulder pain and shortness of breath and a intern sent me over for a chest xray because i had mentioned the spot to her that was discovered in 07 she then sent me for a biopsy and it come back cancer stage 1 non small cell so this had been growin since 07 mind you nothing was done until 2010 I had to loose my whole upper left lung because of a Drs neglience.went through chemo therapy and was suppose to be in remission from 2011 to jan 2012 had negative chest xrays and ct scans but i suggested to my onocologist to do a PET scan to put my mind at ease so she did so and it showed it was now stage 4 which is termanally ill.could somebody explain to me how the test for the wholle year was negative but yet i was now stage 4 but the other test say no.I am at this time currently according to the Pet scan the tumor is not active at this time so now i wake up wondering how the drs and radiologist can get away with all the misdiagnosing and test read In correct aaccording to lawyers i have no case.and im 39 now and wake up asing is this gonna be my last day or is this one.I am so furious at the Drs but still afraid who,when,where and why and what do I do.can't do nothing but play and go day by day and enjoy what time i do have at this point.So until the day it all ends for me im gonna enjoy and play with my grandchildren why I am able to.But the questions will still remain unanswered for me.I have a wonderful husband and a great support system
