My brother was diagnosed in 2003 and passed in 2005 at 48 so they may have better treatment now. It was stage 4 when diagnosed as he never had any lung symptoms. His first symptoms were unrelenting back and pelvic pain that started at the gym from where the cancer had spread. It took a year to diagnose him as he was treated for what was assumed to be a back injury. Once diagnosed, he had surgeries on the metastatic portion (no treatment on lungs), radiation and 2 straight years of chemo until he passed. Since he was so young, fit, healthy and a non-smoker he never had any chest xrays or screening CTs or even ever went to the doctor in years prior which could have caught it early. Lots of various cancers and at young ages in my family so likely genetics at play. Still hoping your nodules will turn out to be benign. ❤️
