Worried about cancer.

Hi, im hoping by writing this, it will help! My partner has several signs of lung cancer including some of the rare symptoms. Hes early 40s but does smoke and doesnt have an overly active lifestyle.  He has had a chest xray now waiting on the results. Im so worried that if his phone rings now its going to be bad news and praying it doesn't ring so quick.  Im petrified for him. He is putting on a brave face but I know deep down he is scared too.  I have searched the Internet for anything other than cancer but all those symptoms come back to it.  I dont think he would cope well with a unwanted diagnosis.  Has anyone had similar and not had cancer?  Im struggling to function daily and its not even my body. Thanks  for reading.
