What Are The Symptoms Of Small Cell Cancer?
My husband was diagnoised with Stage III A, Non small cell cancer in lung with 2 lymph nodes showing signs, after 4 months the tumor had grown .7 cm and lymph node .9cm. He has chosen not to be treated. The only symptom he currently has is severe tiredness - can you tell me what symptoms we might expect in the coming months? Yes he is a heavy smoker. Thank you
