I suspect I may have Lung Cancer

Offline Marz over 7 years ago

I've had pains in between my shoulder blades for about 10 days now , mostly at night when lying down on my sides. It has woken me a couple of times . It is not bad during the day but still there in the background. I did google symptoms and ended up here as I might need support. The most likely cancer Ive seen that match my sypmtms are Pancoast tumours (superior sulcus tumours) that start at the top of the lung and invade the chest wall. I read that they are known to be very hard to diagnose by X-ray.

I've booked an appointment with my surgery but my GP is on annual leave so a locum doctor will see me.

I would really appreciate any advice how to get the most out of this appointment. From my research I think I a PET-CT scan asap.

As a back story I have had 2 chest xrays and ultra sound in the past year that showed nothing suspicious. I presented with lumps on my left breast tissue that turned out to be traumatic fat necrosis which are small cysts that developed at the site of a sporting injury I received last year from a cricket ball. they have sinced been absorbed by my body and no longer there.

What I do not want to wait for an X-ray that I read are not much use to diagnose most lung cancers. Should I be asking the doctor for an immediate referral for a PET-CT scan and even go privately if quicker?

Trying to keep busy as my head is in a blur.

Kind Regards very best wishes to all of you with your own situations.

I am 49 year old male , married with 2 teenage sons.

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescribed medications and treatments, but unfortunately, my condition continued to worsen. My breathing became more difficult, fatigue increased, and even simple activities started to leave me exhausted.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing improved, my energy levels increased, and I was able to do more without feeling constantly short of breath.It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at www. naturepathherbalclinic .com
