Chest xray is pretty good, CT scan of the thorax is better.
2 :
go for the chest xray first. thats the primary one.
3 :
Sadly, lung cancer rarely produces symptoms until it is in it's fourth (metastatic) stage. If you believe you may have lung cancer, please go to your doctor and get a chest xray done as soon as possible- because lung cancer does have such a low five year survival rate, it is very important to get diagnosed or rule it out asap.

1st of all, google it, 2nd, u cant get rid of cancer generally! especially advanced lung cancer. http://www.seattlecca.org/diseases/lung-cancer-facts.cfm; follow this link n read about it
2 :
http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ned=&q=advanced+lung+cancer&btnG=Search+News Here, read these news articles to see what's going on in the fight against lung cancer.

It was discovered many years ago that exposing cancer to 8.5 PH will kill the cancer within hours, and cancer can not grow above 7.9 PH level. Yet a cancerous body is normally tested as acidic, so drinking soda's and other acidic foods can create an acidic enviroment that can host cancer. The cancer will make it's host even more acidic once it starts to reproduce in the host body. Do a google search for "Killing cancer with high PH therapy", and see what you find. I have a friend who has refused chemo - he is 85, and knows what chemo did to his wife 40 years ago. He is being treated with 9.5 PH water, and is walking again - without a cane. Good luck.

Yea, if your worried about her you should.
2 :
Drag her ass to the clinic...Tell her about ur friend and tell her that u care and everything u just mentioned....
3 :
tell her gently. make up that you saw an article that people ages 40 & up that smoke(d) need to get tested for lung cancer. ask her if you thinks she needs to go. if she says yes no problem. if she says no, tell her as her daughter you want her to live to the longest possible. tell her how you feel she should defiantly get tested. if she says no, go to your room and cry. she'll call you down and beg her. tell her how much she means to you.

You can tell your mom that you are worried about her. But, she is free, and over 21 and she will do with her life exactly what she wants, not what you might want. So, tell her you are worried, but don't expect her to change for you.

Hi. If you're worried about her, I'd definitely bring it up, but don't try to tell her what to do. Instead, just talk about your friend's grandpa and that you're concerned. However, if it makes you feel any better, the causes of lung cancer aren't as clearly understood as some people think. I've known 4 people who had it during my life, and 3 were non-smokers. Also, as I'm sure you know, the vast majority of smokers do not get lung cancer. It's a terrible habit - I'd never say otherwise! But there's so much stuff floating around out there implying that every smoker will ultimately get lung cancer or emphysema, and that is simply not true. Not even close.
