She told her primary care doctor, thinking of her father, who died of lung cancer at 71. But her doctor told her not to worry — her father was a heavy smoker, and Ms. Chen had never smoked. She continued to have difficulty breathing, but it wasn’t until two years later that a doctor ordered an X-ray, and Ms. Chen was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
