Lung Cancer in your 20s
It isn't very often that someone in their 20s is diagnosed with any kind of cancer, let alone lung cancer. I'm reaching out to any people that can identify with experiences I have had.
Like the doc said to me... "It's a good and a bad thing that you have a rare kind of lung cancer."

My cousin was diagnosed
My cousin was diagnosed about 2 1/2 years ago. She will be 29 this Sept. She woke up one day not able to walk a straight line. She went to the hospital and they told us she has rare form of lung cancer and it spread to her brain(she's never smoked). We are from the East Coast and she goes to Dana Farber in Mass which she loves. They gave her 6mon to 1 year which she is living beyond and looks and appears to be feeling great!0 -
