I would like to share with you our family experience of dealing with lung cancer. Two years ago, my 62 year-old mother, a smoker for over 25 years, had to undergo a serious surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take it from the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

My mother is a vigorous and cheerful person, full of energy but often stubborn. Every time we laughed out loud, her laugh ended up in a coughing fit. She coughed a lot and felt that her cough was due to smoking. <\/span>Fortunately,<\/b> both for her and for us, she never neglected her medical check-ups<\/b>. Thus, on a regular check-up, a chest X-ray showed a shadow on the lung. Over the next few days, I could see the fear in her eyes. She was worried.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was afraid and worried, as well, but pretended to be calm. I remember the feeling of losing control. Ignorance about the future starts causing anxiety and tension. Negative thoughts invade your mind. Medical examinations become a daily routine and a source of stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doctors recommended surgery as soon as possible, so it was performed a few days before Christmas.<\/span><\/p>\n

My mother was lucky.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two years have gone by and she continues to live her life. She no longer smokes, she enjoys her family and regularly checks her health.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the X-ray had not been performed, things might have turned out differently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk to your doctor if you notice any symptoms that worry you.<\/b><\/p>\n

Preventive health check-ups aid in detecting various diseases at an early stage.<\/b><\/p>\n
