He was a smoker all of his life. My dad just told me (he also smoked all his life but quit 3 yrs ago) they found a spot on his lung. My dad was pretty nonchalant about the whole thing and said they were going to CT scan it "sometime". I would think the doctor would schedule a CT scan right away knowing his family history. My thoughts are that maybe he didn't tell the DR his history. Any thoughts on what the normal procedure and lay of events would be in my dads case? My dad tried to tell me that it could just be scar tissue or whatever (and I am sure it could be) but the risk factor for his that it is cancer not scar tissue is much greater and I would think the DR would see that too...
