I just wondered why there is no screening for lung cancer given that it is very common in a certain age group and more treatable if detected early.  Surely a simple X-ray could be used?
If anyone has any positive lung cancer stories they&amp;#39;d be welcome.  We&amp;#39;re still waiting for my dad to see the consultant this week so know very little thus far.
