I Have Stage 4 Lung Cancer but I Never Smoked

Suzanne Wells

The "retired" Associate Dean for Health Professions at Florida Southwestern University says she has spent the last 9 months on a roller-coaster of health services from M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and locally. She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer despite never having smoked or been around a smoker. Suzanne Wells last brought us a couple of personal essays two years ago when she was participating with the Fulbright program as a visiting professor in Russia.

Though her prognosis is poor she shares her story with us today.
