TAMPA, Fla. - When we first met Kathy Swan in 2018, she had been cancer-free for two years. A tumor in her lung had been surgically removed and essentially cured.“There was no radiation, no chemotherapy needed.
I’ve never been so elated,” she explained at the time.When they found the first spot on her lung, Kathy was 55 and symptom-free.
It was picked on a screening lung CT scan recommended for current and former smokers.“I went thinking there would be absolutely nothing wrong, and that's when they found that I had the nodules.”PREVIOUS: CT scan shows lung cancer undetectable by x-rayAfter her surgery, Kathy continued getting scans at least twice a year.
