A SUPERFIT dad died after his runners' hip turned out to be stage four lung cancer.
Michael Cain, 59, was at his local running club when he felt a pain in his hip in April 2021.
The marathon runner had an X-Ray at Victoria Hospital in Fife, which showed a tear and he was advised to rest.
One month later the pain became so severe he was brought in for a CT scan where medics found a 7cm tumour on his lung, which had spread to his hip.
Michael, a dedicated ambulance paramedic, lost his three-year fight with terminal cancer in April this year.
His devastated widow Rebecca has shared her husband's story in a bid to break the stigma that "only smokers get lung cancer".
Rebecca, 56, said: "Michael was a nonsmoker and always kept fit.
"He was part of a running group and ran the Kirkcaldy half marathon.
"He had gone to work at A&E and mentioned it to an on-call doctor who found a tear in his hip.
