What are the symptoms and stages of progress of Lung Cancer?
Content: what exactly are the symptoms of Lung Cancer? & what are the stages of progress?thanks!BestAnswer:I can only speak from experience. I thought I had bronchitis, went in for antibiotics, had an xray, suspicious shadow found.. follow up CT scan showed a strong possibility of lung cancer so went for biopsy. Stage iv non small lung cancer was found. other than that, I had no other symptoms. I had extensive chemo, which had no wide effects on my tumors but have helped keep me stable for the past 3 years. Progression I was told would be distant metastasis eventually to other organs. Prognosis for me was less than a year of life with treatment, its now nearly three years with no progression. Its a daily fight winning one battle at a time, weather I win the war tho is a whole different story and one I am never too sure about. Time frames are different for everyone. I live for the future, and not worry about today. right now, each day is a gift.

How long does it take for lung cancer to show symptoms before is detected?
Content: cancer expertsi want to know about small cell lung cancer i’ve read that usualy cancer is dormant for years before it start to grow.my question is how long usualy takes for the cancer while is growing to show symptoms does it happen realy fast or does it take less than a year les than six month less than three months or does it just take weeks. thanksBestAnswer:Even if cancer looks dormant ,its really not.Cancer gos though many mutation changes before its at a stage to spread.Sometimes it depends on what you eat.certain chemicals from spices and herbs slow down the progress of the cancer mutation.when cancer reachs its final malingant stage it could spread within weeks.the parts that spread are also milingant too.Even if you destroy the primary cancer area during malingnacy there is a 65% that it has already spread to a secondary or third area of the body.

What are the symptoms of lung cancer and emphysema?
Content: I have smoked for 14 years, and the last 3 years I have been coughing a lot and the mucus is there but I cant seem to cough it up, can someone tell me if this is cancer or emphysema?BestAnswer:Lung Cancer SymptomsLung cancer symptoms that suggest lung cancer include:•Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath)•Hemoptysis (Coughing Up Blood)•Chronic Coughing or Change in Regular Coughing Pattern•Wheezing•Chest Pain or Pain in the Abdomen•Cachexia (Weight Loss), Fatigue, and Loss of Appetite•Dysphonia (Hoarse Voice)•Clubbing of the Fingernails (Uncommon)•Dysphagia (Difficulty Swallowing).If the cancer grows in the airway, it may obstruct airflow, causing breathing difficulties. This can lead to accumulation of secretions behind the blockage, predisposing the patient to pneumonia. many lung cancers have a rich blood supply. the surface of the cancer may be fragile, leading to bleeding from the cancer into the airway. This blood may subsequently be coughed up.
