Lung Cancer Clinical Trials

Posts Tagged ‘Health Clinic’

I'm wondering what would be the most accurate, cheapest test to rule out brain cancer. The three I know of are PET,CAT, and MRI. With MRI being the most expensive I believe. Would a contrast agent be necessary to show possible tumors. 3 yrs ago I was feeling great until one night a lymph node in my neck swelled up pretty big. I had a lot of bloodwork and fecal occult and urinalysis done at a county health clinic. I've had an EKG,echocardiogram,lung xrays and a CAT of my neck with contrast. The CAT discovered "several slightly inlarged lymph nodes" and the lung x-ray found small peripheral blebs on my right lung apex (I read up on this and understand it pretty well). My symptoms could indicate tumor. I get very lightheaded, weak, confused (can't find simple words in my head), and I get blurry vision slightly. Also my eyes have been horribly bloodshot this whole time. Marijuana intensified the feelings, so I quit almost 3 yrs ago. I'm 30, tall and skinny, and smoke for 16 yrs.
