What Is The Nodule In The Left Lung And Swollen Occipital Lobe?
I am 28 years old and have been a smoker since age 13. I have had a swollen occipital lymph node for almost 2 years. My doc said it was nothing back then, but it has gotten bigger and now my doc ordered a biopsy. He also ordered a chest x ray. He called and left me a message like an hour later saying I have a nodule in my left lung. So now I have to get a CT scan. I am kind of starting to freak out? Is there a good chance I have some sort of cancer?

Hey there,
Don't worry right now till you get your final report.
Cancer at this age is less likely.
Stop smoking from today only.
It could be anything but wait till report.
