Heather, it really depends on the type of lung cancer. Some can be removed if it's localized. If the cancer has spread, there are other therapies that may help. I would consult a specialist. I am a board member of Lung Cancer Canada, a not-for-profit organization in promoting education, support and awareness. We are also trying to raise funding for more research in lung cancer. We have a new website that will be launched next week. In the meantime please visit our site: www.lungcancercanada.ca

We are also on Facebook and Twitter.
