Do spots on my lungs necessarily mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Noting your age: As 32, but not knowing your past history, cancer is not a common issue. If you lived in the ohio river valley, or san joachim valley in california, specific fungal diseass are possible. Also congenital malformations. And more than one make primary lung cancer even less likely. There are steps to evaluate, but surgery solves the conundrum.
