What Causes The Pain On The Right Side Having Lung Cancer On The Left?
My mother has just been diagnosed with lung cancer on her left side. She is having pain down her right side. She had her right breast off with cancer 10 years ago and they don't think that the cancer is from there, they think it is a primary cancer. She is having a bronchoscopy on Friday.
