Jesse- It sounds like you are having pain that might relate to your accident, not lung cancer. But do yourself a favor, so you never have lung cancer, leave the cigarettes alone! There is absolutely nothing positive that can come from smoking.

Thank you for the reply Rene. see i thought it might be my accident but it feels like lymph nodes or something on my ribs hurt also. Im finally going to the doctor for this. im still pretty nervous but oh well.
