She married Reeve in 1992 and abandoned her acting career to care for him after he was paralysed when he fell from a horse in 1995. I am a non-smoker and do not frequent establishments where there is smoking, but it was ten years between the time she gave up her career and contracting lung cancer. Lungs can heal themselves after a period of time if one stops smoking before it is too late. Second hand smoke did not cause her cancer.

Yes, lungs can heal themselves but nothing erases thirty+ years of smoking. On fellow had quit 12 years before he was diagnosed but cancer can start slow and stay undetectected for awhile.
