View Full Version : Fear of Lung Cancer in full Effect!
Well after coughing up phlem with Blood streaks in it for 4 days I went to the ER . They did a chest X Ray and said it looked completly clear and normal . They said it might be Bronchitis, But I'm freaking out maybe the XRay could of missed a Tumor or something? HelP Please

No they won't have missed anything - you have to trust them
My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer only last week, and it was the X-ray that first found the tumour. So no you haven't got lung cancer the X-ray would have seen something abnormal. There are other reasons for coughing blood and it's not as scary and uncommon as you may think x

Straightforward infection can cause blood to be coughed up - particularly if you have a bad bout of tonsilitis or something like that.

The xray would have picked it up. There's nothing to worry about x
i recall about 20yrs ago thinking i had lung cancer... had xrays, and all clear, and im here 20yrs on, so if they say its clear and normal then your fine
Thank you all. You have really helped my fear:)
