Dr. Le Wang answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Lung cancer unlikely: Lung cancer will be extremely rare in 26 year old female, though not entirely impossible. I suggest you see a doctor in office to get a physical exam and have your shoulder pain evaluated. If persists or disabling, may get an imaging study.
