May i know what are the symptoms of getting cancer-especially lung cancer?


will there be any abnormal growth?
what is abnormal growth and what color is it?

Often, sadly enough, there are no early symptoms til lung cancer is in its later stages. I went in for a routine check up.. had xrays, suspicious masses found.. ended up with multiple scans, biopsy and diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer.. never saw that coming!! So its important to get unknown pain checked out, listen to your body. Even at stage iv, I still don't have the symptoms listed yet was given only a few months to live at my diagnosis.. weird.. but it happens.. be careful and be safe.

General symptoms of lung cancer
The symptoms of lung cancer can be


Having a cough most of the time
A change in a cough you have had for a long time
Being short of breath
Coughing up phlegm (sputum) with signs of blood in it
An ache or pain when breathing or coughing
Loss of appetite
Fatigue
Losing weight
Less common symptoms of lung cancer
There are other symptoms of lung cancer that are less common. They are usually associated with more advanced lung cancer. You may have


A hoarse voice
Difficulty swallowing
Swelling of the face caused by a blockage of a main blood vessel from the head (SVCO)
Swelling in the neck caused by enlarged lymph nodes
Pain or discomfort under your ribs on your right side (from the liver)
Shortness of breath caused by fluid around the lungs (called pleural effusion)

Cancers vary a lot, symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, a hardness or lump forming somewhere, digestive & bowel movement irregularities, shortness of breath or coughing and many others. Most cancers do not cause pain for quite a while. An increase in white blood cell count can often be seen as the body tries to fight back. If you're concerned, SEE A DOCTOR, describe your symptoms and undergo ant tests he feel appropriate.
p.s. I had lymphoma with a large mass 10 years ago, was treated, and am still cancer free!
