I was diagnosed with lung cancer about 2 weeks ago. I haven't had a scan yet to determine the stage or whether it has spread. Upon meeting the oncologist that I have to see, she's recommending chemo. Could this mean that I have advanced cancer? I am 27 years old and have a son and has never smoked or anything. I do have a history of benign respiratory papillomas and this may be the cause of my cancer.

There is no way to tell if you have advanced lung cancer until you have further scans. You will likely have a Pet/Ct Scan, bone scan, brain scan and possibly a MRI. If the cancer is localized in one lung, surgery may be possible. If it has spread, then chemo will be your option.
