Even though when you are diagnosed with the disease, you will likely not have any symptoms of lung cancer.

Diagnosis of lung cancer is often by accident and happens when the chest is x-rayed for another reason.

However, overall most people will have some symptoms. Usually, though, even when symptoms are present, they are misdiagnosed as other respiratory illnesses.

The following are things to watch for that could be symptoms of lung cancer:

* Constant cough

* Blood coughing

* Dull Chest pain

* Difficulty breathing

* A cough that suddenly develops and gets worse

* Wheezing

* Croakiness

* Reoccurrence of acute respiratory

It is very easy to find out why the symptoms may just be brushed off as another acute respiratory.

However, you have to be persistent, especially if you are experiencing more than one of these symptoms of lung cancer.

You can ask your doctor for specific test, for example like x-rays, which are neither invasive nor difficult to get.

A doctor will be more likely to grant that request then he would if you were asking for a more extensive test.

You can simply explain you worry and why you believe you are at risk for lung cancer.

Very often, a doctor will be willing to consider your concerns. This will allow you to an early lung cancer diagnosis and may just be what you need.
