Brother Stage 4 Non-small cell lung cancer

I am advocating for lung cancer awareness and radon because I think it needs to be on more people’s “radar”. I got interested in lung cancer advocacy when my brother Don was diagnosed with stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer. He quit smoking many years before his diagnosis but it’s probably the smoking that caused his lung cancer. Its interesting that not many physicians talk about the link to radon. There isn’t a specific marker or mutation that can be linked to radon but I wish they could stress it more as a possibility.
