Diagnosis

Chest x-ray and CT scan came back normal.

But I've got all symptoms of lung cancer,pain in back,ribs,night sweats,losing weight,how do I get doctors to listen 

  • Hi Lee and welcome to the forum.

    It's great to see the tests you've had so far have come back with good results although I'm sorry you still don't know what's causing your symptoms. It must be very frustrating.

    We have some tips on talking to your doctor on our website but if more than one doctor works at your GP surgery you could try seeing them and  getting a second opinion.

    I hope the information I've provided will help and you're able to get this resolved soon.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Lee. Have you read these symptoms somewhere on a website?  My husband has lung cancer and never has any pain, weight loss, or any symptoms apart from a persistent cough. An x ray and ct scan should have shown a tumour or a shadow but it's clear. Obviously you feel something is wrong and it needs investigation but maybe have a second opinion as suggested. Hopefully you'll have answers soon. Best wishes ,
