Is Pain In Right Lung And Back Sign Of Lung Cancer?
I went to the dor for pneumonia and in the x ray they found a 2 millimeter nodule on my right lung. They then told me that they would look at it again in 6 months to make sure it hasn't grown. He also said that sometimes it ends up being nothing serious. But I have started noticing that when I smoke it hurts on the right lung and in my upper back behind my lung. The pneumonia is cleared up. Is this a sign of lung cancer?
