Doctors offer hope to never-smoker mother after Stage 4 lung cancer treatment fails

[In partnership with Hong Kong Adventist Hospital Foundation] Huang Yiyan, a 48-year-old housewife and mother of a 12-year-old son, has never smoked. But last year, she was diagnosed with lung cancer caused by a gene mutation. To get her condition under control, she needed a targeted drug she could not afford. Luckily, she discovered unexpected kindness and help along the way. But last year, she was diagnosed with lung cancer caused by a gene mutation.

I could not get away from passive smoking when I went to HK long time ago. People are smoking everywhere even in eateries

[edwfelt]

The smoke from cigarettes harms people who inhales it more than the one smoking... thats why i hate smokers :'(

Is the cause of lung cancer related to air pollution? What a heartbreaking story.

[goldbrodidoggo]

Entirely caused by pollution.. not necessarily by smoke alone..

Lung cancer is not a smoker's disease. It can happen to anyone who is healthy and often does. Check out ALK lung cancer as an example. Everybody has cancer cells in their body. Some people's immune system stops working hence the multiplication of bad cells that needed to die off. We must spread the word about this and start helping fund research for this #1 killer of men and women in the world (as far as cancer goes)

How do you get lung cancer without smoking? Was it caused by air pollution or what?

[goodguyaus]

Held it together until I heard her voice quivering at the end...

I was at my uncles and he lives up in Tupelo and I was with my grandma but we decided to go and some other girls were there and they were smoking but the only seat was next to the girls, smoking so I held my breath and breathed by putting my shirt over my face! I don’t wanna get smoke in my lungs!!! Smoke is bad for kids!!!

Why do these people get lung cancer? Is it because of pollution?
