It's been now 11 years and even if we wish we knew how it all happened, it would be torturous to try to find a reason why. Sometimes life is unfair, but we sure saw a bunch of miracles during these 9 months.

Scientists in China actually looked into similar issues long ago where patients developed advanced lung cancer but never smoked and found that most of them had been exposed to Radon, a naturally occurring gas released from soils/rocks as well as from incomplete burning of natural gas on the burner on your stove, that is when the flames of your burner appear yellow/orange/red instead of blue. A Radon detector can help determine if the level is too high. As for the cooker, regular cleaning is required and make sure your cooker flame is always blue.

Being Asian American female myself, I think the fact that many of us cook at home and the way we cook foods may have something to do with it. First of all typical Asian cooking style calls for high heat stir frying. Usually it generates a lot of steam and SMOKE. The gas used to fuel the stove also generates carcinogenic compounds. We use hood vent that pulls air out, but not every home has that feature, and not all of them can move air out quickly enough. I think the combination of smoke and gas fire may contribute to the lung cancer. I haven't seen any study on whether cooking habit has anything to do with lung cancer. I hope someone can start this study soon.

Smoke of any kind is air pollution. This is probably the main cause of their lung cancer. Even just cooking inside without opening windows every day to air out their homes could lead to health problems. It's even worse if they grew up in a place with higher air pollution. Any particulates in the air are bad for health, it doesn't have to be from smoking.

There was a similar situation in India. Young adults around 19 dying of lung cancer. They were non smokers, the doctor researching found it was air pollution. Living in some parts of India was equivalent to smoking 9 cigarettes a day. So these young adults since birth were exposed to bad air pollution. The same for Mongolia too. They still use coal to warm their homes and Mongolia is very cold during winters. Children cannot even play outside because the air quality is bad in winter.

Yes, I think people don't realize how important indoor air quality can be. Whether it's fumes from cooking, cleaning products, air pollution, etc. The air quality inside can be even worse than outside if windows aren't opened regularly. If they grew up in a place with bad air, even if they move somewhere cleaner as an adult, that could affect their health for life. Air purifiers with a hepa filter could save lives.

incense burning is carcinogenic.

My mom, who was born in Vietnam, was diagnosed at 48 with stage four lung cancer, which spread to her brain, and passed away at 50 back in 2012 when I was 19 and my sister was 15. I remember the nurse looking after my mom said that she had lots of menopausal Asian women that never smoked seem to be getting lung cancer more than other demographics. I just hope there will be better ways soon for early detection if medicine is starting to see this correlation more. It makes me worry for my sister and I about going through what my mom did. I hope that in these studies we can keep track of where the women are born, if it's happening to those that were born in Asia only, or if it doesn't matter where they grew up and can happen to those that were born in North America too. My dad has hypothesized maybe it has to do with the cooking methods and poor ventilation system in Vietnam back then, since lung cancer sometimes happens to cooks. And then there's the lasting impacts of Agent Orange... But hope there will be more answers in the near future.

Wishing everyone lots of health.Praying for recovery.God Bless them .❤️🙏

My mother was 67 when she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Never smoked. She was Mexican. She passed away 2 years ago. We never pushed to find out why lung cancer. My mother was a fighter never complained was active. The hardest part is seeing your mother strong fighting loving life to deteriorate and depend on a machine to breathe. God bless all women fighting this horrible disease.

People in Asia burn many more incenses than in the US. My grandmother burned them every day in a tiny apartment and she passed away at 94 without any medical condition.

Asian Americans are more likely to live in urban areas where there's more air pollution. I wonder if that plays a role.

I’m Asian, never cooked food with seed oil, only cook with saturated fat like butter, tallow or lard. One day I grabbed a butter from fridge which my bf bought it. when I was cooking, I got irritating in my nose and breath uncomfortably. It’s turn out that was a vegan butter that make from vegetable oil. My cousin who lives in US , she’s running a restaurant for 5-6 years. Non-smoker. She just get stage 4 lung cancer a month ago. From my research (people around me/internet). I guess - smoke from high heat cooking seed oil (even worst when combine with non-stick pan/TEFLON) - cleaning/chemical products - asbestos - incense - mold - bad ventilation in house/work place

She said that asian women are more likely to get lung cancer for unknown reasons. So, this was known even over 10 years ago. Edit: My family was very a white collar family that didn't burn incense, doesn't smoke, highly educated (both of my parents went to college), doesn't go to nail shops, exercises, doesn't stir fry, and lived in the surburbs where there was little air pollution.

His left lung was pretty much collapsed. He never wanted to do a lung biopsy until it was already too late. Results came while he was on life support and they said they couldn’t help him anymore. He had a lot of fluid in the lungs removed and they thought it was pneumonia and possibly TB at first. Ended up being cancer. It was definitely sad times.

Yes, Radon, an odorless gas, is very dangerous. It comes from homes / neighborhoods being built on top a certain rock formation. Our whole neighborhood in s.e. PA. is built in a large beautiful hilly area, and almost every home, including ours has the radon remediation pipe going up the side of the house. Stores like Lowe's, Home Depot and ACE Hardware all have Radon testing kits. So maybe it's not the ladies living habits, maybe it's where the home is located. And by the way, Radon in your basement can reach the 2nd floor!

Get rid of high VOC products in the home. Scented candles, air fresheners, perfumes, fabric softener, harsh cleaning products, essential oil diffusers. Replace with fragrance free. Remember this slogan "Go mild, not wild". Your lungs will thank you for it.

My wife is Asian, I am non Asian. Sometimes she will cook traditional Chinese meals with spices, certain oils, and other products she only finds at the Chinese supermarket. Many dishes are stir fried. On a few occasions she would cook in the kitchen and I would be in the living room. While she cooked, I happen to hear my smoke alarm go off full volume which is attached inside the kitchen and above the kitchen entrance. I ran to the kitchen to see what's going on. She was cooking a high heat full flame stir fry food. It literally clouded the kitchen with some cooking fume. It was nothing burning. No black smoke, no materials being burned, no rag burning. It was her high heat cooking. I immediately opened the windows, tried to ventilate the kitchen, all while holding my breath because those cooking fumes was making me cough and irritating my eyes. I had to talk to my wife that such cooking with high heat and fumes cannot happen again. What kind of healthy dishes require high heat while burning oils and setting off smoke alarms? I feel that any type of cooking that sets off a smoke alarm, or affects your breathing or irritates your eyes is bad news because it may also irritate your lungs. It just doesn't sound healthy for your body either. There are many safer ways to have a good home cooked meal with much less heat and no burning oils. My wife understood. We both enjoy good dishes as long as it's prepared with health in mind.

He keeps telling me that stir fry requires high heat, and I tell him I don't care what it is, but burning oil is not safe/healthy and he should change his way of cooking. I was upset, because the level of VOC in the house would remain high for many hours even after opening all the windows. Remember three main causes of lung cancer are smoking, radon and cooking.

I read about an old study that followed housewives back then they were called that. And women who cooked with gas stoves without an extractor fan hood died several years earlier than those that also had gas ovens but had an extractor fan. I also talked to the janitor if my mom’s 200 unit apartment building: when Asians move out the oven is pristinely clean but the rest of the kitchen has residue (I forget how he described it). all over. And when white people move out usually the walls etc are clean but the oven is greasy. He said it was because they cook with woks or similarly sautee everything compared to others who roast and bake more. My concluded hypothesis is that Asian women in the USA are still the main cook of the family, and that something about their style of cooking affects the air they breathe while cooking it. Perhaps some kind of kitchen appliance or home design change (more gas stoves?) is a factor.

Could it be working at the kitchen too long inhaling stove gas or fumes?
