Scared of lung cancer

By the time you are coughing up blood from lung cancer, it is profoundly obvious something is very, very wrong. One of my best friend recently lost her elderly father to lung cancer and there was no mistaking it for anything else when he was at that stage.

I've heard that. I think that's why the 'tasting' of blood has me concerned, because I don't want it to get to the point of coughing up blood. The meds and inhaler from the doctor seem to have stopped the blood taste, but my chest is still tight, still have some wheezing. I'll probably give that another week or two and then call them back, just to get to the bottom of the wheezing.

Well, I did get diagnosed with GERD, which my primary said can cause some of this. Still tasting blood though. She put in for a chest xray to see if anything is up or see if the GERD is affecting my lungs. I'll be doing that later today.

How did your xrays turn out?
