Symptoms and scared

Hi,

Anyone know where rib cage pain associated with lung cancer occurs? Would this be an early sign? I have multiple symptoms which can be attributed to loads of different things but I'm scared it's lung cancer. I'm 39 and still smoke about ten a day which I know is stupid.

    Hi Poor you!I am scared for my Disabled Husband as he is suffering from pain behind the sternum area.I think he's got a rib out of place .He is having problems with breathing.He Gp reckons he's done damage to a cartilage behind his sternum owing to an injury.I pray it's nothing serious like cancer as he's had recent done tests done.I would urge you to go on to a vape e.g. a flavour one just to be safe.my hubby gave smoking up 3 and a half months ago.cold turkey!! Try and stay calm.And get help soon regards Amanda
