I was screened on my own, as I had been a smoker for 38 years, having quit for eight at that time. My cancer was caught at stage one and I had the top lobe of my lung removed. Since it was detected early, no chemo or radiation was necessary. That has been almost 11 years ago, years I would not have had, had it not been for the screening.
