@teresalane- I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your parents. That must have been very difficult to watch. My mom died of Parkinson's disease and it was just heartbreaking to see her suffer and not understand what was happening.

I think that I remember you saying that. Doctors refer to NSCLC as the good kind because Adencarinoma cancer is usually much slower growing than small cell. I don't know if lung cancer can be genetic. I'll have to check on that.
