Woman on Queensland working holiday finds out cough is terminal lung cancer
Mia Chen noticed no symptoms of her lung cancer until developing a persistent cough.
Mia Chen thought she had a cold that just wouldn t go away.
The 30-year-old from China had been working as a waitress on Queensland s idyllic Hamilton Island when she developed a cough last December.
Then her back began to hurt.
Concerned she wasn t getting any better, Ms Chen went to see a GP. The doctor told me it was probably just the air temperature and it wasn t a big deal, Ms Chen, who has been living in Australia for two years on a working holiday visa, told nine.com.au.
