Brief Answer:
Its not due to Lung Cancer.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

See , normal WBC count is 4000--11,000 . So a count of 10,700 is still in the normal range and you don't have to worry anything about that.

As of your pricks in the chest area , I think it is due to Gastric acid reflux. It is a minor condition . You need to reduce intake of spicy food and non veg food. If problem still persists you can take Rabeprezole + Levosulpride medicine . Ask your doctor for the prescription.

Chest tightness needs to be evaluated further. It could be again due to acid reflux disease , Indigestion or some lung problems. But I can very much assure you that it is not due to Lung Cancer.

I recommned certain tests for the evaluation. Kindly get it done and revert back with reports.

Chest X ray, Liver function tests, Serum Lipase and Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
Its Piles.

Saw the pictures . It is Piles and not cancer. You need to get this removed surgically for a permanent cure else it will be bothering you every now and then.

Brief Answer:
It's not Lung Cancer.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Relax. Cancer of lung is painless. Shoulder pain could be just due to muscle strain .

You are worrying too much about Lung cancer which you do not have . If your mind is not at peace because of these thoughts then you can get a CAT Scan of your chest which will clear that there is no lung cancer in you.

Hope this information helps you.
