    My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 Adenocarcinoma on 5/10/13 and passed away 5/23/12. The cancer spread to her spine, ribs, hip and brain. Her main symptom was severe back and chest pain. The cancer originated in the lungs - which were not as badly diseased as other areas of her body were. It was a devastating loss. She suffered greatly and fought like a warrior. I will never forget this experience and cherish every moment I had with her up till her last breath. She is forever in my heart and soul. I love you mom! You are now one of the brightest angels in heaven!!

    My mother passed away from Stage Four Lung Cancer (non-smoker). She had just turned Thirty-five years old, and she was in her prime. She died this year on Good Friday. My father, brother, and I are so upset. I don't think I'll ever recover from the loss in my life. After all, I'm only a 12 yr. old girl. But I know she's in heaven now, where she's supposed to be.

    To all those souls out there, like myself, who have cared for a terminally ill loved one, and inevitably lost them to cancer, my heart goes out to you, and aches with you. I cared for my mother at home with hospice the last half of last year, bearing direct witness to her decline and suffering as lung cancer ravaged her body. She died on Christmas day, and I'm still recovering from the experience.

    My grandfather died of lung cancer and now my dad was diagosed in April of 2008 with lung cancer.



    You are correct, lung cancer is the most deadliest and the one they know the least about because the funding is not there...look how far they have came with breast cancer, because of the research...

    It is sad that society puts such a stigma on it because of the smoking...there are many lung cancer patients who have never smoked...

    Hopefully with more media attention this will change...

    it's true no everyone who had lung cancer smokes. I lost both of my gradfathers to cancer. The one had lung cancer and he didn't smoke. I think that we all gonna die of cancer one day. I really hope they will find a cure for it.
