A member asked:
Slight dry cough 3 months & up right back pain. 3 clear xrays, bloods and lft. all normal. really worried it could be lung cancer.

Probably not.: In a 35 year old non-smoker, lung cancer would be rare. A chest ct is a better test than a chest xray because it looks inside the lung tissue better. But, ask your physician if he/she recommends it.

Probably okay: If you are a non-smoker and cxray okay. Next step is ct lung if concern persists.
