A member of my family had a chest x-ray recently and they discovered a nodule in his right lung.
He is having the following symptoms:
Shortness of breath
Chest Pain
Coughing up blood
Right arm is numb and can hardly lift it
Right shoulder pain - espcially at night
Forgetful
He is in his late 50's. Heavy smoker/drinker. Is taking sleeping pills at night b/c his shoulder pain is so bad.
Gone for a bone scan and bronchioscopy coming up.
Does this sound like lung cancer?

Hi ... I am by no means an expert but your Dad's symptoms don't sound good :(
I also had a Dad with bad habits and lung problems.
The Scan and the Bronchioscopy are great tests ... that will help alot.
Has he had any Blood work done??
that can tell a tale as well.
I see you are in Canada. I am just curious...how is the system doing with getting swiftly on your with your Dad's case. As I hear it can be a lengthy process at times.
I live in Washington State and often hear of Canadians coming here for faster health care.
I'll be thinking of ya :)
if you have time keep us posted ~ Teri

He is having all his tests done privately, therefore having to pay for everything.

Thank you.
The lung cancer spread to his liver and he passed away December 14th.
