Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl living in South Wales UK. I have asthma, though lately my chest pains have worsened, I've been wheezing and I get out breath easily. Also, I've noticed that I've lost my appetite, not enough to get worried but I'm a big eater. I get tired for no reason and a few days ago I noticed that I have yellow nails. I went to my doctor and he thinks it may be yellow nail syndrome, but he couldn't tell me much about it because he hasn't seen a case of it before. So now he's asked me to clip of some of my nails to be sent to the laboratory to be tested.

Being the inquisitive person that I am, I looked up yellow nail syndrome on the internet when I got home. And I found out that its frequently associated with lung cancer. I don't want to sound like a hypercondriact or anything, but I live with 3 big smokers and looking at survival rates for girls my age, it's not good.

I know you're not doctors and you can't diagnose me, but does it sound like I have lung cancer to you? Sad
