Were you under the care of an internist, or any physician, durnig the time you believe you should have been diagnosed?2. Did you make any compalints to your doctor that should have warranted a chest x-ray?3. Does aynone in your family have a history of cancer, especially lung cancer? 4.
What type of lung cancer were you diagnosed with? 5. What stage of lung cancer were you diganosed with?
(The stages are typically from Stage 0 to Stage IV, with IV being the most severe and deadly.)6.
How much time went by from when you bleieve you should have been diagnosed, until the actual diagnosis was made?7. Did you ask your treating cancer specialist (an oncologist) if your outcome would be different if the cancer had been detected 'x' years ago?
(This is really important, for different types of cancer have different growth patterns. Some are slow growing, and are fast grownig.

(What do the doctors guess about your survivability and the tretament still available to you? 9. Are you a smoker? 10. What type of cancer have you been diagnosed with?
