@char09, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad you found us, it helps to have others around us, albeit virtually, that have experienced the same diagnosis, thoughts and feelings. It sounds like you have a lot coming up.
Being a never-smoker, you likely didn't qualify for screening, how was your cancer found? Have you had a biopsy?

My cancer was found when a CT scan was done to check the heart. This was followed up with a second CT and then a PET scan was ordered. I did have a biopsy and Robotic-assisted lobectomy surgery is now set to remove the lower left lobe. I will then heal for 3 to 4 weeks and hopefully be strong enough for the angioplasty. I have meet some wonderful doctors at Mayo whom I have complete confidence in.
