thanks both of you. I really appreciate the help.

Hello everybody. Im a young college student who's mother has been diagnosed with lung cancer an hour ago. I dont have all the details but she had a lump taken out last week for a biopsy. We just got the results today only to find out the lump has squamous cancerous lung cells in it. The cancer isnt in her lungs however but its on the mid sternum. My mom looks and feels fine. She has never coughed up blood or anything like that. She started chantix last week to quit smoking after I begged her for 5 years to quit and I'm really angry that it took her this long to realize she needed to stop smoking. Im really afraid right now as well as angry and just trying to educate myself as well as my mother as to what kind of fight were up against. Shes going in wednesday to see a specialist and see what treatment options are available. If you could offer any advice or info to help me out it would greatly be appreciated. Keep her in your prayers please.

Hello everyone. I don't know where to begin and I'm a little distraught, but my mom had just been diagnosed about an hour ago with lung cancer. She had a lump under her arm which had been removed last week and taken in for a biopsy and they found squamous lung cancer cells in it. The doctor said the cancer isnt in the lungs itself but on the mid-sternum. I'm basically looking for info to educate myself and my mother so we can get an idea of what kind of fight were in for. If you have any piece of advice you could throw my way it would be greatly appreciated. Keep my mom in your prayers. Thanks.
