In reply to the discussion: Once again, I am terrified. [View all]murielm99
(31,613 posts)37. My kitchen was being remodeled.
There was stuff all over the house. Bag, boxes, chairs, tables, you name it. Also, I live in a refurbished farm house. Some parts of it are old. There was dust and grit everywhere. I developed a terrible cough. I noticed that no one else had such a terrible cough. Then I started having blood in my sputum. My primary care doc knows my history of smoking. She gave me a CAT scan and a PET scan. They found the cancer in the lower lobe of my left lung.
I got lucky. Also, I know my own body and I knew that things just were not right.
