gail Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Found this on CNN Bronchoaveolar carcinoma. This uncommon type of non-small cell lung cancer tends to grow more slowly than other forms of the disease. It occurs more often in smokers than in nonsmokers and tends to arise in more than one location at the same time. I was told at diagnosis (in the recovery room) that it was the kind that non-smokers get. Those of you more knowledgeable--what do you think? gail[/u] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Gail-- they have it the opposite. You are right. I was just watching an interview with a doctor and he said it is a type non-smokers generally get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Gail--Your right, that is what I have. It's found in non-smokers. Also more non smoking women get it then non-smoking men. It is very slow in developing. Rich PS: I'm a never-smoker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Wow Larry King was very interesting and now they are going to continue on to the next show about lung cancer. I saw that Lung Cancer Allinace (ALCASE) was mentioned more then once. Wouldn't it be nice if LCSC was mentioned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gail Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Yes, I was impressed with Lance. And would kiss him too. I did dash off an email to both Larry King and 360 mentioning us. I sent Oprah a copy of the email I had sent her in the summer, after Dana was diagnosed. I asked her if NOW would be a good time to do a show. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
