Hello, my dad had a cold/flu (not swine flu) for a week and a half. I'm probably sure that his cold is gone (maybe not) but he keeps on coughing like every last 5 seconds... (Dad's a smoker). Is there a probabality that he got Lung Cancer? I'm really worried.. My dad smokes like 4 or 5 cigars a day.. not the whole pack though...

One symptom is the finger tips bulging over the tops of the fingernails. Get him to go to a raw food diet for 6 weeks. Let him still smoke! Just switch to raw food only.
2 :
Primary care physicians probably see hundreds of patients with a coughs for each person they find with one of the types of lung carcinoma. You cannot go by the symtoms - cough, coughing up blood, ect. - since they are non-specific. His doctor - who knows the entire medical history and can examine you dad - will decide if a chest x-ray is indicated. We don't even know his age. Only 3% of lung cancers occur in people under 45 years of age. 4-5 cigars each day is not as risky for lung cancers as chronic cigarette smoking.
