No: Unusual to have lung cancer at 35 ! this suggests something like a blockage high up in your trachea. Are you a smoker? Consult with your pulmonologist.

Can't tell: Possible but there are other obstructive etiologies. Likely will need bronchoscope to look inside trachea . A ct scan provides guidance to level and degree of obstruction.
