Hello @inderb, I'm glad that they found your adenocarcinoma early! Yay for no chemo and no radiation. You mentioned radon. Did you have your house tested? I also wonder if there was any biomarker testing completed on the tumor? It's not always completed for early-stage cancers. Many of us that don't seem to have risk factors but still develop lung cancer have developed one of the gene mutations that cause the cancer (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, etc).

Hello @lls8000 , thank you for your response! Yes university of Michigan do test the bio markers and it came positive for Lung, breast and prostate!! Mom had breast cancer, both sisters had but are ok. I still have to test the house for radon! But I believe it was the genetic factor for lung cancer. I am doing fairly well in my recovery and have started pulmonary therapy to get my lung capacity back. Will keep the site updated!!
