The various symtoms are there and getting worse all the time.I am in worse shape as far as breatning goes,than last year.I could use some non partisan advice.ThankYou Larry Vincent I highly suspect I might have lung cancer.I have had blood in my sputnum, I wear dentures and blood has been found under them on a fairly regular basis.I have had chest x-rays and have been told they were clear.But, I am very short of breath,I have a peculiar kind of pain in my chest that I don’t think is my heart.I am a long term smoker,age 56, Do I just go in to my GP and ask for the CT scan?I need some advise ,and not just (you need to quit smoking.)
