My father’s lung: The story of a smoker – and his son, a smoker

My father, Kirk Arbuckle, is one of the 120 people diagnosed with lung cancer on P.E.I. in 2008. Fortunately he was not among the 100 people killed by it. Lung cancer on P.E.I. has a mortality rate of 80 per cent. My father beat the cancer, but has suffered serious complications from the surgery to remove his right lung four years ago.
