A single mother of three is facing the fight of her life after doctors diagnosed her with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to her brain. Kandis Hall, who worked three jobs to support her children before falling ill, said she was stunned when doctors delivered the news after she was hospitalized for a week. “At first I bust out crying. It was such a shock because I’ve never smoked a day in my life,” Hall said. “It’s still unbelievable. I still don’t believe it.”
