@blooddocdad: 1. Radon exposure. A naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate inside homes increases risk of lung cancer 2. Genetic mutations. Acquired mutations in EGFR, ALK, ROS are drivers of lung cancer 3. Secondhand smoke 4. Air pollution. Long-term exposure, particularly from traffic, industrial emissions, combustion increase lung cancer risk 5. Family history. Having a first degree relative with lung cancer increases your risk up to 2X even after accounting for smoking

Both my parents died from lung cancer. My mom never smoked. My dad did but quit after she passed and never did in the home. There were high levels of radon found in our family home growing up.

Mom had small cell and died at 49, she snowed since she was a teenager. I’ve never smoked? Should I worry?

What about burning candles, wax melts, and air fresheners in your home?

My mother lives in Cheyenne Wyoming. Wyoming is known for radon. She was diagnosed with a slow growing lung cancer. They never tested for radon until her dx. 15 years with high basement radon levels. I'm convinced

My Dad died from lung cancer at age 73. He was a mechanic for 40 years. And a non-smoker.

My dad passed from lung cancer and a few years ago I had a scan for something else and a nodule was found, didn’t pay much attention, should I ask for a follow up ?

We are seeing a lot of NSCLC that do not fit any of these criterion, especially younger individuals. It’s very concerning!

Ughh my aunt was never smoked. Just got diagnosed with a tumor in her brain and it’s actually skin cancer, which is crazy and she’s never been in the sun either. Now, they found a spot on her lungs. I wonder if it’s going to be lung cancer related or is it gonna be the same type of melanoma? Anytime people get cancer in my family it’s always confusing. My mom got ovarian cancer, but it didn’t form in her ovaries so it was called peritoneal cancer.

And how does the Radioactive gases get into somebody’s apartment and could those gases make somebody pass out and expel themselves in their pants. Just a question for a friend, but keep posting.

That’s interesting, I heard apart from the gene mutations, lung cancer isn’t very genetic. Good to know.

I’m probably in trouble. I’m a non smoker but my dad, his dad and his 4 other siblings died from lung cancer, as smokers. I think about it often.

Radon accumulates near or slightly above the ground; the higher you go, the less there is.

I just to get a Radon mitigation system in a house I bought and it make me frequently wonder about the decades of people who lived there without protection and if they had any negative consequences.

My father died from lung disease & never smoked in his case he just always had bad lungs, had asthma, repeated bouts of chest infections, pneumonia, impoverished upbringing & later poor working conditions didn't help, died at 52.
