Oh, Sara, thank you for sharing your story. I'm wishing you all the best with your surgery!
My dad (Brian) is much older than you are, but in his case too, the fact that he had never smoked probably delayed his diagnosis for up to a year, perhaps even longer. By the time cancer was actually considered, his disease was also Stage IV. It is truly heartbreaking that early detection of lung cancer is so rare. Hopefully, this will change as more people like yourself are brave enough to tell their story and raise awareness. Good for you!
All of us on this forum are pulling for you, Sara!
