Are tumors in small cell lung cancer tiny making it hard to diagnose.i have had a negative ctscan but still worried to due to fatigue and weight loss?

Stop worrying : It's the cells that are small, not the tumors. Incipient lung cancers may be there but they're not making you sick yet. Do you have Addison's? Gluten enteropathy? Any of dozens of others? Worrying accomplishes nothing. Rechannek that energy into smoking cessation, exercising, and/or continuing your work up as applicable. Best wishes.
