Lung Cancer

It kills you....

Not necessarily true at all! It's not so much the lung cancer, but the effects on the body from chemo and radiation. And if caught early and treated aggressively, it may rarely kill you!

It is not. Lung cancer, as with any cancer, is caused by a cell losing control of itself and continuously dividing. You get large, worthless, and sometimes harmful groups of cells replacing the good ones. Of course, all cancers are harmful. The sometimes harmful here is referring to cells which actually damage other cells instead of just rapidly multiplying and ousting the good cells.

Discuss everything you are taking or wanting to take with your treatment team. And it never hurts to ask what everyone else is doing while you are sitting in the waiting room(s).

Good luck!! I have my fingers crossed for you.

Cancer does make the world a smaller place. It is amazing how many strangers become your friends and how we all pull together. It touches us all in one way or another.

Visualization helps. Think of something attacking those cancer cells during your treatment. My dad wore a shark hat and pictured sharks chomping away. It did help that he was a life long fisherman. He did enjoy remission from a stage 4 lung cancer. So I do have faith for you! Chomp, Chomp, Chomp!!!

bad nutrition contributes to cancer. Without the proper nutrients needed to do their job, our bodies are fighting a losing battle to keep us healthy, the result being sickness and disease

The cancer can cause the lung tissue to start to bleed. But it won't actually burst like a balloon or anything like that.

No, Lung Cancer can be caused without ever smoking. Some people can smoke their whole lives and never develop lung cancer. Just like other cancers lung cancer can develop randomly. Always be sure to ask your doctor if you think you are showing symptoms of something.
