Is it Lung Cancer? (signs and symptoms)

Could it be lung cancer? What are the symptoms of lung cancer? This video is for those who are scared they may have lung cancer. This health scare is very common and you need to see your doctor for accurate information because internet searches may lead you to become scared and self-diagnose incorrectly, or have a false sense of reassurance.
Your mind is not objective and can be influenced by emotions, leading to unconscious bias. You may find arguments to support what you already think (even if irrational). Be aware that the mind can play tricks on you.
Lung cancer facts:
Who gets it?
Normally older individuals, who smoked for many years (20+) and maybe worked with carcinogens / had environmental exposures. It is rare in non-smokers and young people.
Symptoms of lung cancer?
Often there can be no symptoms (incidental finding on x-ray/CT). Other times there may be an ongoing cough, coughing up blood, weight loss, repeated episodes of pneumonia in the same area of the lung. Chest pain is actually quite rare at the beginning (unless the tumor affects pleura). Other health events may also occur (unprovoked blood clot, abnormal electrolyte levels etc.)
How is lung cancer diagnosed?
It's important to first see your doctor to assess the the risk in your case. An initial chest x-ray may be performed. In people who have a high risk (heavy smokers, older individuals), a low dose chest CT scan to screen for lung cancer may be done. If a suspicious nodule or spot on your lung is found, it may be initially just monitored with repeat CT (Is it growing?). Other tests may also be requested depending on the case (i.e. PET scan, bronchoscopy, etc.)
If you are worried about your health, please go see your doctor.

As a veteran we are truly screwed. The V.A. thinks everything is just your allergies and PTSD. They refuse to test for cancer until it's confirmed by accident while testing for something else. Since it is a teaching hospital it's like they want you to be at stage 4 to give students (residents) something to do.

My son is 31 , a non smoker, and was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung cancer last July , it had already spread to his liver and spine. He has battled through some agonising treatments, including chemotherapy , immunotherapy , radiotherapy , but sadly all treatments are now exhausted and the tumour on the liver is growing rapidly. I came across this article as I find it helps to reach out to people who have gone or are going through similar , i find this extremely interesting as my son has been a garage mechanic for the last 12 years. As an avid gym goer 5/6 days a week, the cancer only presented itself as a cough , by then it was too late, as it was an aggressive cancer that had already spread, he’s now on end of life care, it’s heartbreaking knowing his time is now limited , so yes, it is rare for it to happen to the younger ones but it does happen

[@Pureblissfullness1111]

Sending my love. safe and peaceful travels to your son to his next life journey God Bliss you all

Garages a lot of times are full of toxic dust & other air pollutants. People work around dust & other air pollutants don't realize how much the bacteria from it is damaging their lungs. I advise to use a gas mask & clean clean clean, attack & destroy dust. Use spray bottles to help get rid of dust.

[@chandrakalashetty7804]

I am 75 years old woman. Now I got the same problem. Severe cough from the chest and chest pain which spreads to stomach. When the spreads in my stomach, it is severe pain like gastic pain. I showed it my local MD doctor says it's gastric trouble. In my Xray its same like the xray shown in the picture Half cut lung image. But what to do, my local doctor gave me some pain killer for gastric. I don't understand what to do. Please suggest. Thank you.😢

My dad’s was in his pleural it was very painful up into his shoulder. He was a non smoker but worked his entire life as a diesel mechanic and they believe it was his exposures that caused this. He was stage 4 when diagnosed. Lived 8 months once given the news. I miss him so much.

So sorry about your dad. My husband works as a car painter. Workers wear masks now but they still breathe in some paint fumes even if it's less. When he first began doing this type of job as a teenager workers didn't wear masks. He's now 58 so I wonder how much damage these paint fumes may have actually done to his lungs over the years. Plus, his dad died of lung cancer. I worry a lot about him but nothing can be done about it. He will either get it or he won't. I think genetics may play a part in some patients though and oddly enough, I've known a few people who've smoked for years and have never developed lung cancer. They ended up living until old age and dying of something else. Go figure.

[@user-qf6mj3zn7v]

Sorry for your loss.❤

[@Mike-01234]

I do know mind can play tricks on you. Friend passed away from cancer and I had this idea that pain my back was cancer. I went to my doctor told him about it wanted my liver scanned because I had been previously diagnosed with fatter liver. I went had an ultrasound and same diagnoses fatter liver the same day I got the results the back pain went away in that area. I figured out it was in my mind based on fear of cancer. We have to get over the fear of death and accept that it will be all our fate don't waste life minutes on fear. Nothing wrong with getting something checked out.

My father passed away from Lung Cancer on Memorial day 2021. Went from 6 months to a week after diagnosed, it's definitely one of the hardest situations any family could go through. Personally, what helped with coping after was realizing that it takes a lot of time to heal from a loved one passing of lung cancer. Dont be afraid to ask for help also from a therapist, friend or even a neighbor. For 2 years I avoided the trauma and it only got worse from there, you're never in this alone!

Thank you for the most honest and informative video I have ever seen on this subject.

[@jarrahsmith6388]

I had a tumour in my upper left lobe of lung that grew through my shoulder up into the the C2 vertebrae of spine. I worked 12 hours 5 days a week in deep sea crabbing and then a year of tree arborist so I consider that hard work. No shortness of breath ( 2 min 11 sec breath hold underwater ) fit and healthy but putting on weight. Lots of night sweats. Only found out about tumour because my elbow hurt a lot. CT MRI scans and doc gives me the bad news , Non Hodgkin's lymphoma, so not lung cancer just cancer in the lung. 6 administrations of chemo over 18 weeks and I'm fixed. 2 years in remission so far. And in Australia I didn't even have to pay any money at all for any of the treatments and medications and in Australia we don't even need insurance, just have to be born in the best country in the WORLD. Living the dream

[@Christynmaine]

I appreciate the words of caution about getting medical advice via the internet. So true. But I think a fair number of us are following up the brief talks we’ve had with our doctors. For me, my nodule and granulomas were found unexpectedly while being screened for surgery clearance. Now I’m being scheduled for a PET scan and that has me worried. None of the symptoms you mention, but I am in my seventies, so maybe my age is the reason for the PET scan.

Asthmatics don’t usually cough up blood to my knowledge. An appointment with a doctor seems prudent.

Asthmatic symptoms don’t include coughing up blood. My husband has asthma. He sees his doctor regularly. Please get your loved one to see an asthma specialist ASAP. Or a pulmonary doctor. Don’t ignore it.

Hello. I am not a doctor but If I have cancer I want you to know that taking your body back to its alkaline state can help u severely. It can minimize growth of cancer cells radically and even reverse it! How to make ur body alkaline? Stop eating cooked food totally Eat only raw organic food especially greens. It may sound weird but pls listen. The human body is made to be alkaline, once u put food on fire it becomes acidic! A baby on breast milk has an alkaline body which is very hard for any dis ease to thrive in. I believe if u do the following it will help you more than any medicine. Pls do ur research. 1 cut out sugar and salt totally for now 2 eat only vegetables and fruitsAfter a month u can start eating salmon over the weekends only . 3 get enough sunlight as sunlight heals 4speak positivity and healing into your good and water before u consume 5if you are on meds fine continue but make sure YOU CHANGE ALL YOU EAT INSTANTKY ESPECIALLY EATING ONLY RAW ORGANIC FOOD🙏🏽 Declutter ur space and avoid any negativity

[@FeHopeCyndiW]

Thanks for the sensible video. What are your thoughts on the current guidelines for follow-up for nodules? At least here in the US, they don't seem to follow up. My doctor recommended that I see a pulmonologist when multiple lung nodules were found incidentally on my CT (was there for chest pain). I saw the pulmonologist and he said that they were small (4 mm), so there was no need to follow up with current guidelines. (Not even another CT in a year.) I never smoked, but I did nerve agent detection defense work for the USG as a chemist; I have been around carcinogens. Being a scientist, I looked up the stats and I am not sure if I am comfortable with that, particularly given the upper lobe location. My husband died from fibrolamellar cancer, which is ultra rare, so our young daughter only has one parent left. It has definitely made me more conscious of my health.(I am an Ironman-distance triathlete, but I learned long ago that health and fitness are not the same!) I am wondering if not following up is really in the best interest of the patients or the insurance companies dictating medicine in the US. (Much like the recent decision to change mammograms from annually to every 2 years here.)

I have pain in the right chest and back for 5 and started getting a little scared. Only occurre when I moved my head forward. It’s probably just a sore muscle or some nerve that’s going crazy but just can’t get it ouf of my head.

[@dianekarslian8419]

My mother smoked around me for 20 years until I went on and smoke myself. I quit at 47. I've had RAI twice in my teens. I had thyroid cancer and recently skin cancer. The thyroid cancer had spread to one of my right laryngeal nerves so there are a few complications. I have some pulmonary aspiration at times. I can't breathe as good as I used to. I've had RAI twice in my teens. My husband has had thyroid cancer as well. Why is it like I'm asking too much from my primary physician. She gave me an Rx for an inhaler and said that I would have to see a Pulmonologist if it doesn't help. She said it's probably just long Covid. I did not cough or sneeze. I had a mild case?Why is it that if anyone asked for my advice in my situation, I would tell them to see a doctor and get a scan. Demand one. What's the worst that could happen you already or don't already have lung cancer. Excuse me while I request an appointment.

[@maychua4398]

Thank you Doctor for your kind ❤, informative video on lungs🙏. Initially I had pleural thickening on one side of the lung ...then I was told I had black patches on two lungs after X ray done. Whenever I coughed, it would last for nearly half a year or more and parts of my body would ached so much. Like what you mentioned, I always feared I had lung cancer.

[@bobhill8974]

I have a lot of pain which started in the right shoulder blade area.The pain now reaches down into my hips. When I cough and especially when I sneeze the pain is so bad it feels like my longs are exploding especially in the back.

[@maychua4398]

@@bobhill8974 I had acute pain at my upper back often if I started coughing.. Sometimes it would be on chest. Like u ..pain was so bad I was so distressed and helpless. I tried rubbing the area with tiger balm white ointment daily or put a KefenTech Plaster (manufactured in Korea) over it. The plaster was good to relieve pain, given to me by a doctor of hospital for my other health tissues then. I could get them from pharamcies too. Hope u perhaps might try to see if it helped. It would take few days to stop the pain though. Had a good blessed week ahead!

[@RabbitWatchShop]

Question. I am mid-30s. Smoked cannabis heavily off and on from teens to now. Smoke tobacco averaging 4 a day from mid-20s to now with periods of quitting. When I quit, I usually don’t experience problems. This time, however, I have been having severe pain in my left lung precipitating to my back on the left side. Initially, I assumed it was a sore muscle. Never got better. I then realized it hurts more when breathing in deeply, indicating the pain is originating from the lung. This pain has been profuse for about two months. In late-2022, it was discovered I have several nodules in both lungs with more in the left lung. I was instructed to get another scan after a year yet never did. I know lungs can experience some irritation during the healing process. I am going to have my doc order a scan for my lungs. My doctors were extremely upset with me for hiding my smoking, because they asked when they found the nodules. Thoughts?

[@Wanderingsoul520]

Someone please help me out. It started with chest tightness which later progressed to non productive cough with heavy irritation in my throat and then to wheezing and mucus production. I went to pulmonologist he said I had mild copd, but this cough wont go away. I am fine pretty much the whole day with coughing once or twice but as soon as night comes chest tightness wheezing and cough with itritation in throat returns. Now I am having anxiety as I had nothing like this in my life before.

Having been a smoker about 2-3 months ago i developed a heavy cough and i couldn't know what I've had so i mannaged to get some strong cough mixture but i also had pain on my chest and for some reason the pain wasn't there for long but due to the coughing it was like a cold cough so I've concluded that all in all that I've had a cold on my chest and that's where my pain in the chest come from and eventually the coughing finished and then i was ok. So with a chest pain it's not necessary a singh of lung cancer but could be a cold on the chest.😊

[@carmen6693]

3 days ago I got chest ct results. I have 0.4cm nodule in the left lower lobe, 0.3cm nodule in the superior left lobe, and 0.3cm nodule in the right upper lobe. Ive had shoulder and hip pain for about 1 yr. And in the last 6 months ive had a strange swelling above the left breast, somewhat painful. Enlarged lymph nodes on both sides of my neck and heaviness in my throat. Also have back pain. I was a smoker for 20 yrs and im 51. I know this all sounds like im doomed but could the multiple nodules be from anything else?

[@klleeful]

Dont speculate and self diagnose. The mind can play tricks on you. Seek professional advice. Its most probably just granulomas. Maybe its a blessing in disguise. The final nudge for you to quit smoking for good.

Hi doctor and other viewers, I've recently had a cold and I coughed up droplets of blood. I told my doctor immediately and he sent me for a Chest Xray.. He has recently comtacted me again to say I must take a course of antibiotics as I have a colonised infection on my lungs, and that I need a CT scan. I asked if it could be cancer and he said if it is, its best to catch it early. Is this likely and does anyome know what a colonised lung infection is? I can't find much that I understand on the internet. Thanks for reading.

[@elvespresley2282]

It's likely just an infection.

Dr stefan i have a question, every morning i wake up blood in my spit from my mouth, my doctor doesn't seem to concerned, where could this blood be coming from ? This morning when i cleared my throat evidence of blood. I don't produce any blood throughout the day and it only happens after ive been asleep i feel im losing my mind with worry

Might be Drainage from your sinuses. Do you have allergies?

@edwardsfamilychannel5807~~Hi there, If you are spitting up blood or coughing up blood, even just a little and maybe just a few times is a reason for concern~~GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!...Also, get a second opinion because most Dr.s today suck~~Good luck and God Bless~~😁😁😁

I have smoked heavy for 48 years. Last year they found spots I get colds 2-4 times year. He suspected lung cancer. He was so certain I had the tests and Pneumonia eventually cleared up. They did a CT assistant biopsy one and I never went back. I figured they were wrong. I do have problems coughing and use several symptoms but I was tested and they weren’t concerned so I guess I’m one of the lucky ones so far.

Im actually worried so i got here in this video. I don't have persistent cough, doesn't have shortness of breath since i can even play basketball for 4 hours straight, and i don't have any symptoms except coughing up blood. I cough blood and then feel well again, i mean no following coughs, and then it happen again the next day. I am thinking if this maybe because of throat injury or what since i have no issue in my lungs

Hi Doc. I'm 50 years old, I've smoked on and off since i was 16, the past 2 years i quit cigarettes and passed on to vape. May this year i caught covid 19 and since then i frequently experience sharp pain in my lungs. I don't know if these pains are related with having had covid or something more sinister. My father passed away 4 years ago from lung cancer. Please help.

[@Mike-01234]

Don't pass up this opportunity to quit smoking and vaping. I'm about the same age as you I grew up in a house full of smokers never picked up the habit. I can understand why our age range did because it was so common in the 1970's and 80s. Go see a doctor get it checked out tell them you want a CT scan of the lungs. My best friend a long-term smoker had a bad heart attack in 2019 left him with 20-30% of his heart at age 67. He continued to smoke went downhill fast. Good luck

I've had a really bad cough since before christmas ( bit over 2 months at this point) and it just doesn't go away. Had a lung x-ray today, got my results back on the same day; Shadows and spots. Friday afternoon my GP isn't open anymore so i'm going to have to wait til Monday (got an appointment in the morning) to hear *anything* from an actual doctor. In the meantime i've been googling and youtubing my results and to my layman's eyes it looks like i'm either lucking out with a pneumonia - or a tumor. (Well, "growth", benign or evil.) Normally i'd chalk my rather unpleasant thoughts up to being a pessimist... but in Jannuary i spent ten days in a hospital for a bodywide infection caused by a gal bladder stone and i was pumped full of antibiotics several times each day. Cough didn't change. Meanwhile Grandfather: died of cancer Great Aunt: died of cancer Other Great Aunt: currently dieing from cancer Great Uncle: died of cancer Mother: died of cancer Grandmother: unsure about this one but i seem to recall either cancer or a heart attack. Point is: imma gonna have a *real* shit weekend. Oddly enough my main thought is: if it IS lung cancer an entire hospital would have missed it for ten days despite me coughing up a storm louder than the Covid Rooms next door without it getting any better. Like, the cough isn't new, if this is something bad *surely* my bloodwork would've shown something right? Right. Gonna pretend it's gonna be just an infection and go from there if i'm told otherwise. Just. MAN. Shit like that. ALWAYS on the weekend. ...and i don't really want to talk about it to anyone before i know what's up. And yet i need to vent. 2024 starts like it's trying to kill me off for good which i'm not even terribly against but ffs can't we just have me fall over quick and painless :/
