Q: Lung Cancer symptoms ?
asked by: EveGood on May 16th, 2008

A few weeks ago,I felt what I can only describe as a "plume" bursting in the area of my right lung, I also experienced loss of appetite, diarrohea, not so easy to breath, dry cough and fatigue. When I visited my doctor I also had a bruise on my right ribs area. Bloods showed lymphocytes at 1.40 (normal min and max are 150 - 4.00), a chest xray showed lungs were clear and a CT scan showed a 4-5cm non calcified nodular density in the left lung (not the one where I felt the "plume"). Since the first "plume", I have experienced burning pains from my lung and my breast, dizziness, indigestion, lack of concentration and general soreness around my ribs and back and gross fatigue. In recent days my mouth has been dry and I have a sore throat which makes swollowing difficult. I have been under great stress in the last few months. Do symptoms indicate Lung Cancer or Fibromyalgia or what? I am early 40's and an occasional smoker. All replies welcome.

7mm nodular density
I have been to three ct and all of them show a 7mm nodular density in right upper lobe and another in the middle lobe there has been no change however at first thought it was inflammation due to three broken ribs and now they say there may be calcification demonstrated within the lesion. What is it and what should I have done
