Hi all, 

2 weeks ago the fingers of my right hand started to hurt and over the last days also 2 fingers of my left hand hurt a bit. I read in Google that such painful and thick fingers are a sign of lung cancer. 

The fingers of my right hand look thick today. They look somehow strange.

Then few days ago I started to get a bit breathing problems.

When walking around or talking especially in the morning I had the feeling I had to make here and there deeper breathing to catch up the oxygen. 

Since 2 days I have a point in the left middle breast that hurts strongly a few times then goes away. I have a bit of nausea in the morning and a bit night sweat. 

Since I am 47 years old and smoked in the youth strongly and stopped 12 years ago (I also had 12 years ago a CT scan) and that my natural killer cells are too low and damaged, 

I have great fear and I am convinced that I have lung cancer and that it is already moving fast. 

What do you think about my symptoms and am I right to fear to have lung cancer. 

Please tell me your opinions! 

What were your symptoms? 

  • I think I have on 1 finger clubbed nails.

    The other fingernails are fine. 

    The internet tells clubbed nails are early sign of lung cancer. Now I am again in panic if maybe my clear x-ray was not enough.

    Since I also read in this forum that few people had clear x-rays then still having found lung cancer in the CT.

    Oh man I have no idea what to do now.  I am in such a fear.
