Hi guys,

Need your advice. I have been a smoker for more than 10 years. For the last 1 year i have been putting on weight. Currently i am at 90kg and my height is 182cm. i used to be around 75 - 80kg.

For the past 2 years, i noticed that i am having some symptoms. I noticed that i have hair growing from my palms. This happen many times, but not that often. Only recently, i had 2 strands of hair growing from my thumbs. one from the left and 2 from the right. As i am writting now, i noticed a hair growing from my right thumb.

I have a small node underneath my right armpit. When i press that area, i will be able to feel it hidden underneath my skin. This node has been there for i think 2 years. Recently there is a node behind my left ear. I noticed that when i dip myself in the swimming pool ( cold ) the node will shrink a little. It should be a node as it has been there for quite sometime.

During this time i also have some boil at my testiscles. It will be there for a while, then it dissappears. When i keep pressing it, then there will be blood coming out.

The most recent symptom is that i am having chest pains. i feel like it is my heart that is giving way. when i take deep breath there will be a blockage in the middle. My back, near the should blade areas are stiff. The center of my right feet is really in pain. i can feel it when walking.

These days, i also feel tired. I have been snoring loud.

Any opinion guys?

No one can diagnose cancer just by reading about symptoms.

Go to your Doctor tell him/her all your symptoms, have some tests done and go from there. I wouldnt worry until you have to. But do go checked out.

Hi,

Just to update my condition. Took a full blood work. Waiting for results. Breathing has been better. Less pain. 2 days ago when sleeping, when i sleep on the side my chest was painful. Yesterday was allright. Maybe my lungs or heart got imflamed. Anyhow waiting for the bloodtest. Then would go for an x-ray. I am really scared. Reminds me of my good friend who passed away due to liver cancer at early 30's. May god rest his soul.

Sigh, I just spit out sputum. Got a little blood. Not sure whether it is from the lung or throat. But i noticed that every morning, before i would want to spit out, can feel that there would be blood. I really hope that i would be okay. Pls pray for me guys!!

Hi,

on 1st november 2.00 am, my chest hurt. i got up and prayed. Then i tried to sleep. Unable to as feel pain and uncomfortable. I told myself that i am gonna go to the hospital. At the hospital, i took various test. ECG - came back normal. Did echo, the doctor says it is normal. heart pumping well. They took the test for lung capacity. they say that it is good. I did an xray of my lungs and they told me that it is clear. i showed them the swelling behind my ear, at the cartilage, i am sure it is a lymph node, they say that at the cartilage they are no lymph nodes.They say, probably it is a cyst. They ask me if i vomited, i said that i can taste the vomit soemtimes, as i try to force out the flam.So they are treating me for gastric.

But today when i woke up, i found that behind my ear, there is another lump. Also at the cartilage. What the hell is going on?? I walked a short distance today, little fast, and i start to be short of breath!! so what is this?? lung cancer? stomach cancer? heart problem? psychological problem??
