Sounds very similar to my situation. Very fatigued for 6-8 months. Also pain in shoulder going up neck to ear. Came down with what I thought was bronchitis in sept. Primary dr and urgent care both prescribed antibiotics and steroids. Helped for a short time. But pain in neck sent me back to primary. Ordered Cat scan for neck and convinced me to do a lung scan while I was at it. Large mass in upper line and assorted modules in other areas with high likelihood of lymph node involvement. Next steps are PET scan and biopsy. Devastated and scared but trying to remain strong. What treatments have you undergone?

I started wheezing the other night and hacked up bright red blood. Went to the ER and they did a CT scan, found a 5.7cm mass on right lung. Saw the Pulmonary doctor today and he said he wants me to get a PET scan, also said the surrounding lymph nodes all looked normal, and generally cancer is more dense: the mass in my lung is not that dense. He ran a procalcitonin test to check for an infection, but those results are normal. I'm terrifed that this is cancer! I'm 52, and have had no other symptoms except the blood. Not tired, no weight loss, nothing but if it's not an infection, it's something?! I am so scared!!! I feel so bad for everyone on this board. Can they do alot for lung cancers now a days?
