What are the chances of my mother getting lung cancer
What are the chances of my mother getting lung cancer?
My mother has been smoking for about 17 years. About a year ago, she said she stopped. She did for about a month, and then started again. Now even though I don't see her, I can definitely tell she smokes at least twice a day. I'm very worried for her health. So what are her chances of getting cancer? Btw, she's 46. Thanks.

1 in 7 lifelong smokers on average gets lung/thorat cancer. However, 17 years is not considered lifelong. I believe that implies 30 years or more based on the studies that I have seen. So in your moms cases, the odds probably are not that high.
2 :
look into your mother's life pattern, that she is a heavy smokers, there is the possibility of lung cancer. We recommend that you advise your mother to reduce smoking. Begin to live healthy, multiply eat vegetables and fruit, and drink a minimum of one liter of water in one day. If you believe in herbal remedies, can try taking the herbs to clean your mother's lungs. prevention is better than later.
3 :
Not very high, most smokers don't get lung cancer. And most deaths from smoking are due to other causes, particularly heart attacks. She should definitely stop because she's reaching the age at which it can kill you.

Could this be a sign that my Dad has lung cancer
Could this be a sign that my Dad has lung cancer?
My Dad has had a persistant cough for a month now, he got antibiotics but they didnt do any good. He doesnt smoke. He went to the docs and he listened through the stethoscope and couldnt hear anything so he has to go for an xray tomorrow. Im worried that by sending him for an xray that he may have lung cancer.

Does he have shortness of breath? Does he cough up blood sometimes? Did he experience weight loss? Those are other symptoms of lung cancer.

Antibiotics kill bacteria, not viruses or cancer. Wait for the results. It may just be an allergy - I reacted like that to some new carpeting on the floor.

The doc knows that antibiotics should have responded by now. X-rays are cheap diagnostic tools and can help figure out what is going on. I bet your father started to feel better and stopped taking his antibiotics. Stopping antibiotics early is one of the dumbest things one can do. When you start again, they are no longer effective. At least with an x-ray he should get results almost immediately. If they were really worried about lung cancer they would be ordering a CT Scan. The standard procedure is the x-ray first since it is cheaper.
