I had no symptoms that were really of any concern til I was diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer. the only concern I had was a nagging cough that wouldn't go away. Now, three years later I have pain caused by the growth of the tumors and damage to my bones from chemo, but still no classic symptoms of lung cancer that are listed.
