Catching lung cancer early can be a lifesaver, especially for non-smokers.
I was incredibly fortunate to be diagnosed at stage one, with no spread to my lymph nodes.
This meant I didn’t need chemotherapy and underwent a curative right upper lobe resection.
I've been on targeted therapy, and I’m set to finish this summer after three years.
Can you imagine the impact of having official recommendations for early lung cancer screening in non-smokers?
