Diagnosed
Oh No
In 2003, I signed my husband and I for a National Lung Screen Trial. It was a 3-5 year trial to try and determine if chest x-rays or CT scans (one or the other) were better in early diagnosis of lung cancer. We both were randomly chosen for the CT scan. My very first scan found my cancer and changed my life.
What do I/we do? Where do I/we go?
