Well.. I just received a very disheartening phone call from my doctor. I went in 2 weeks ago with a bad cough (still hasn't gone away), so they did routine work, and took an X-ray of my chest.

Low and behold, apparently there is a small mass of tissue, roughly half the size of a dime in the middle lobe of my right lung. Instead of sugar coating it like most doctors would, he said it looked like cancer, and will be treated as such. Lame.

WWLAD?

edit: I also have bronchitis. Hah.

Going to a specialist on Wednesday. I think they caught it early enough, *if it is*, to be removed.

That sucks man.

Hope it gets taken care of soon.
Good thing you went to the doctor though, otherwise it could have become alot worse.

Are you by any chance a heavy smoker etc..

Wait, you're like my age right? 18?

I'm no expert, but that's a really young age to catch cancer in the lung, no?

That just ain't fair...

That was my first reaction.

I have never smoked a cigarette, but I do smoke cigars on occasion.

I think the main probable causes would be my grandparents smoking since I was born, and me being at their house every weekend, and my work with Wildland fires. Although that short of an exposure shouldn't do that..

Chemo is bad medicine.
If the cancer don't kill you, it will.

Be strong bro, it's probably just a stubborn booger.

Hopefully it's benign, not malignant. You are very fortunate that it was noticed early. Like others suggested, get another opinion and keep up with the positive outlook.

well it depends on what kind of cancer we're talking about, but if it's a small 'friendly' cancer type it should be removed quickly.

Sorry to hear, good luck.

Haha 'friendly cancer'. Ha.

Hey chap, fancy a tumor in your chest?
Why, yes, by all means.
Thanks, mate. I'll just post up right here and make myself comfortable. Nevermind the debilitating illness and death that follows, it's all routine.
K, thanks.

Not necessarily. It kills cancer cells, along with the cells that are helping your body fight the cancer.
