Take A Deep Breath...
Should I get screened for lung cancer?
"This is Doctor Wilson. She saved my life."
Emily, a life-long Somerville resident, had her first lung CT last year at CHA. A smoker for about 50 years, her primary care doctor suggested she contact Dr. Duncan Kuhn, co-director of the pulmonary nodule and thoracic mass program at CHA, who scheduled her first screening. She breezed through the first scan with no abnormalities and returned this year for her follow-up screening. Without this second test, she wouldn't be here today.
