cough, pain, secretions (mucus/blood), wheeze, feeling short of breath like you just can't get enough oxygen into you no matter how vigorously you breathe you're obviously worried about it, if it's you go get it checked out, the earlier detection the better. If it really is cancer they can start treatment sooner rather than later. best of luck mate :)

I went to the dr. thinking I had a recurring bronchial attack. Routine xrays were given.... my lung cancer was found. I had no other symptoms. This is the thing with cancer, quite often there are no early symptoms and this is why the cancer is most often found in the stage IV by the time its detected. If suspected, have an xray done.. if its suspicious then a CT will be ordered for a closer look.

The only symptom that my mom had was a constant cough. She would cough so hard that it hurt. For the first year, they did chest xrays that showed nothing. Then the next year she was tired of the cough, so they again they did another chest xray. Still showing nothing, they decided to do a MRI. This showed a tumor the size of a baseball. So the only thing she had was the cough. So if this person has a chronic cough, please talk them in to going to the Dr.
