There are many ways to get lung cancers, just google and you will get a lot of info on what is said to be causes. Nothing however is 100% guaranteed on the cause, if we knew the exact cause, we would have a cure. Yes, it is treatable. Most successful treatments are when its found in the early stages and surgery can be preformed. Sadly, most lung cancers are not discovered til the late and final stages. My lung cancer wasn't discovered til stage iv and isn't operable. Chemo is keeping me stable at the present time. My tumors shrink a wee bit, then grow a bit.. more chemo keeps it from further spread at this time altho baby tumors keep popping up, and I was dx'd nearly three years ago. Every case of lung cancer is different in everyone even if its the same type of cancer,,it depends widely on the stage of dx, on the kind of tx that is available and how well they tolerate those treatments and what kind of health they were in at the time of dx. Lots of variables to consider. Many people can and do overcome their lung cancer, sometimes however it may reoccur. there are no guarantees with cancer, but there is always hope.
