Is there a good chance that this coul dbesomething other than Lung Cancer? he is so young! Tlm2much Wed, 28 Sep 2005 00:00:00 GMT Yes, it could be something else. 26 is a little young to get lung cancer. The symptomes of lung cancer would be a cough, coughing up blood, pain in the chest, shortness of breath and getting tired easy. The MRI should help and a biopsy may be needed at some point. Make sure he doesnt smoke again as lung cancer is almost always caused by smoking. Oncrx Mon, 03 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT I am a 58 year old mom and grandmom. I never smoked and was told 4 years ago I had lung cancer. I never had a cough or any pain. It was a check-up. I was given 1 year. Well after cheo,and radiation.Alson many mri,pet scans and everyother test they could do. They found out it is in my left ribs [4],pelvis and now 6 of my verb in the back. Them they found 2 brain tumors. One can,t be taken out ,because it is to far in the brain,the other is in the top of the brain in the back. I guess I am greatful that I don,t have a lot of pain at this time. I take hdro every 3 hrs.and a morphin patch I change every 3 days. Starting next month I will go to a pain clinic,to see of there is anything else I need to do because I know it is going to get bad soon. 2 years ago they said I wouldn,t live 1 year and I,m still here. I can only say the good Lord is looking out for me and helping me deal with this Cross I have to bear.I pray for you and hope you will find peace in this experience that we all are going though. I hope I have helped someone. Thank-you and God Bless Grandma Patti Momma Patti Tue, 18 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT Hi, My mom has brain cancer. She is 60. If you would like to talk I would love to listen.
