Patient's question:
I am a dust worker. Since last month, I started coughing, but later I experienced blood in my stool and often felt short of breath, especially during physical activity, to the point where I couldn't catch my breath. I also felt pain in my chest and back, and sometimes had inexplicable fever. My colleague said I might have lung cancer.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for a detailed and thorough examination. Because early-stage lung cancer often shows no symptoms, almost 2/3 of lung cancer patients are already in advanced stages (Stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ) when they return for follow-up. 95% of patients can have clinical diagnostic test results, and primary tumors, metastatic tumors, systemic symptoms, or tumor-related symptoms can all be the initial symptoms of the patient. Additionally, during the treatment of lung cancer patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you.
