I would hate to be the one to operate on people with cancer. One wrong move and you will kill them

Whew! That kind of takes a load off my chest (no pun intended). I’ve been coughing up white/clear sputum for a couple of weeks, but there is no blood, and no pain. I am a heavy chewing tobacco user (one time smoker), but haven’t smoked in 8 years or more. Today i’ve been extremely light headed. It scares the hell out of me that it might be cancer. I do have a feeling of not being able to get enough air, but i also had a pulmonary embolism last november, and have had that symptom since.

Greetings! I don’t use tobacco, but had a pulmonary embolism in the spring. Been treated w/Coumadin. Did or do you take coumadin/ Do you have any chest “pain” – like a finger poking you? Have you had a CT Scan to see if clot is gone? All the best & Take Care!

I’ll be on coumadin for life because of a genetic disorder. And no pain, blood, etc.. But i never had any pain to begin with (even with the P.E.). My last time i was in the ER was because of that feeling of not being able to get enough air, they did a chest x-ray, and CT scan, both showed a marked improvement. My primary has scheduled a pulmonary function test. Thanks, and you too!

Chewing tobacco causes mouth, throat and stomach cancer. If it’s mouth and throat you might catch it early. Stomach cancer happens over time.
My Grandpa died from stomach cancer from smoking a pipe.
Chewing Tobacco is 100 times worse – totally cancer causing. Even young people can get cancer from chewing Tobacco – that means 17 year olds or whatever. Go and find info about it.
Lung cancer might be the worst one you are most likely to die from but stomach cancer is also difficult to detect.

I’m positive now that it was just an infection. Went and saw my doctor, he wasn’t worried about cancer (given my symptoms). I got real sick for a few days, spent most of the time hacking up stuff, the sputum turned from white to green. But now i feel like a million bucks. I’m still quitting though! I’ve know more than my fair share of people who’ve died from cancer (my grandpa, a good friend, my best friend’s dad). And it’s NOT something i want to go through!

weed cures cancer…!

i really like how this doctor puts it, ive heard other doctors talk about symptoms and they just have a harsh tone in their voice. With this doctor he makes it seem like there is always hope for winning the fight no matter how far along your cancer may be. I think that this is important for everyone to belive that their is always hope and to never give up. I myself used to be a smoker, i started when i was 16 and ended a few months ago now im 18. I think quitting is the best thing you can do.

@vj198 it prevents it, but doesn’t cure it. although it’s not something you might want to depend on…
MrSpieldose on June 12, 2010 at 12:43 pm

I’m 23. what are the chances of someone my age succumbing to lung cancer from smoking at my age. I have mild asthma and I wake up with chest pains often. Is it at all likely for a 23 year old to have cancer from smoking?

I’m 14. I’ve had some chest pains and I think that it’s probably acid reflux, because the symptoms that I’ve been having are pointing more toward acid reflux. I’m really paranoid, always checking my spit for blood. Sometimes when I eat/drink something that tints my spit, I get worried that it wasn’t the food/drink. I do have the chest pains and headaches, but I think the headaches are just migraines. Should I be worried?

I graduated HS with a guy who ended up passing away from lung cancer at age 27 and he wasn’t even a cigg smoker. Even if we try to be healthy some shit just happens but not smoking is still the smart thing to do, along with eating lots of colorful fruit/veggies.
