Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Chronic Back Pain, Diarrhea, Nausea, Cough And Spots On Skin Indicate The Symptoms Of Lung Cancer?
I have a friend that thinks he has lung cancer and is afraid to go to the dr for fear of what he will find out. His symptoms include a chronic pain in his back left side, diarrhea, nausea, a cough that is intermittent and a couple of spots on his skin that are discolored. Are these typical symptoms?
Not at all. None of symptoms is specific for lung cancer. Is your friend a smoker,as lung cancer is common in them. these patients have cough with blood in sputum,weight loss, loss of appetite. some time fever in night. if your friend has any of these than he should get chest x ray done.
