SOB Lung CA?: M of unknown age or smoking history. Notes: I have on and off shallow breathing and difficulty catching my breath. My mum died of lung cancer, should I be worried? ANS: very unlikely breathing issues are related to CA lung. if they are I recommend you not start any long books as the disease is very advanced. Assuming your grew up with smoking mother U R at increased risk. If U smoke Stop Now!
