See your doc.: At age 19 i doubt it is lung cancer. But your history really leaves a bit to be desired. Apparently you have seen a physician who has ordered some studies. You need to talk to them.

Not likely lung CA: It would be very rare to develop lung cancer in your teens. Sounds like another condition (i.e. Infection.).
