Proberly any where up to 12 months.Some people who developed lung cancer never somked in there lives.It a 85% chance that a smoker will develope lung cancer.Its a 10% chance that a non smoker will develope lung cancer.Its more than likey that a non smokers lung cancer was caused by either passive smokeing or it traveled to the lungs from another place in the body.This would make the lung cancer the secondary cancer site.

Lung cancer is slow growing and it could take 8 to 10 years for a tumor to be big enough to be detectable. Hope this helps.
