I’m so sorry your brothers passed away from cancer. My mon also had lung cancer, but she died from stroke while in remission. Her two uncles also had lung cancer, one smoke, the other didn’t. If there’s a lung cancer gene, I would like to know.
We’re the lucky one that we found out and were treated. Unlike you I hadn’t have the courage to go through the mastectomy until 2 years later. I hope is that we will stay in remission for a long long time. I’ll be 64 in a few months. Give me 15-20 years, I’ll be ready. LOL . 🤗

Yes, we are definitely the lucky ones! We’re about the same age so I’m right there with your thoughts. I’ve been in treatment for recurrent breast cancer (chest wall) for the last 5 years but it’s going well. Let’s meet for coffee on our 80th birthday! 😀
Sorry about your mom and her uncles. There are some genetic mutations that are associated with lung cancer, just google lung cancer genes. I have no plans to test because I also have slow growing neuroendocrine lung cancer (uncommon) so I’m in treatment and have regular CT scans already monitoring growth. My brother had the common and more deadly NSCLC that may be tied to mutations.
