It sounds like it could be bronchitis. Go to a doctor and get taken care of. It's miserable to be around smokers isn't it? All five of the kids in my family, including me, used to smoke. I was the youngest and first to quit. Then everyone else but one brother quit. He died with cancer.

You may be asked to give a sample of sputum for the occurrence of cancer cells, if you are suffering from unrelenting cough with sputum (mucus).

In order to examine your lungs along with airways, your health care professional may use bronchoscope, and will take sample, or biopsy, of the tumor by means of the bronchoscope itself. Through either nostrils or mouth, the bronchoscope will be inserted into one’s lung.

In order to recognize lung cancers of smaller size, most of the physicians are most likely use a modern CT scan in smokers, which can be treated and cured easily than the large sized lung cancer. To spot small sized cancers, the method called helical-low dose CT scan has been used extensively. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, various other symptoms may occur. That is, if there is metastasis. With the following possible symptoms for each area, Lung cancer can spread to the liver, the brain, or the bones: Brain: headaches, seizures, nausea, vomiting, weakness Liver: stomach pain (especially the right side), jaundice Bones: bone pain An MRI, a bone scans and CT scan are the common tests to find out the metastasis stage of your lung cancer after observing the early symptom of lung cancer.
