Allan, were you around a lot of smokers during your younger days? I never 
have smoked either. However, I've been around lots of people who did. I'm 
afraid that I may get lung cancer some day even though I haven't smoked. 
Nevertheless, my wife, Sheilla and I will pray for you every single day 
until we receive the good news that the cancer is GONE! 73. Doug, N6NFF and 
Sheilla, N6IKB

I have never smoked in my life, so it is kind of odd thatI got cancer in my
lungs.

ouch! I had a relative that passed away from that specific cancer. He =
probably would still be alive if the VA hadn't misdiagnosed it as =
emphysema. Alan caught it early, so the chances are fairly good.
