Q
My husband was diagnosed in May 2007 with lung cancer and had his upper right lobe surgically removed. He had no follow-up chemo or radiation. Then in November 2008 he was diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer of the left breast. He had a mastectomy of his left breast (outpatient surgery) in December 2008. He had a lump in that breast for years and refused to have it checked until it appeared as an open sore on nipple. Is there any possibility that there is correlation between the two? We have been separated for almost two years but he guilts me into helping him. He also has COPD.
