Hi,
My english isn't perfect.
Im 45 y old and i am a smoker for +18 a 20y.
1 week ago i started to have a hoarseness voice and 3 days after that start i feel soms chest pain.
In february i got 4 months diarrhea, the family doctor did a stool test and the stool test was ok. after 4 motnhs my stool test was ok.
Sometimes i got chest pain (i read on several sites the chest pain of lung cancer must be worse when you laugh, cough,.. ) and when i laugh or cough.. my chest pain stays the same.. not worser.. and 1 week i feel it... then i feel nothing for serveral weeks..
Now i got a hoarseness voice.. 1 week now. i think today my hoarseness is going better..
I went tuesday 18 juli to the family doctor and i did a blood test (it was normal) and she saw my throat was a little bit red. She said my throat is slightly inflamed and the hoarseness is from the inflamation. She also said its viral and that i can't take any medicine for this..
I talk if it should be lung cancer be because when i search on the internet i read the badest things... as lung cancer ..
But i'm afraid that the chest pain that i feel sometimes and my hoarseness voice is a symtom of lung cancer.
-If you got lung cancer (early?), is the blood test normal?
-if you got a hoarseness voice from lung cancer, is the throat slighty inflamed (i feel a little bit a sore throat) or you got only a hoarseness voice without an inflamed throat)
-about the chest pain.. now i don't feel it.. but sometimes i feel a little chest pain.. which i feel 80% of the time.. after a few days he is gone. I think if its lung cancer i should feel it all the time, for weeks... of longer an and should be worser when i laugh or try to cough.
What do you think?
Thanks for your help/advice
