Hi,

I don't really know where to go with this question but I heard that there are some helpful professionals on this site, so here is my problem:

I'm 50, male, ex-light smoker. I had chronic cough for 2 months, mucus, chest pain recently and fatigue - all symptoms of lung cancer. I went to Drs before and they gave me antibiotics but it didn't work. Went again last week and got a chest X-ray that found mass or something, and Dr gave me stronger antibiotics and said if it doesn't get better to get a CT. Antibiotics haven't worked but Dr is away this week, and I need some ease of mind. Can it be anything but cancer? Can't find any diseases online that match up.

There really is not enough info to know if this could be cancer. Mass, do you have a size? I would think if they saw a mass, a CT scan would be done. But only a biopsy can confirm cancer or not. Are you seeing a pulmonary doctor? Take care, Judy
I am not a medical professional, just a surviving LC patient.
