Because the following symptoms can be caused by many different
conditions, it is important to see your doctor if you are
experiencing any of the following:
Blood when
you cough or spit
Recurring respiratory infections
Enduring cough that is new or different
Ache or pain in shoulder, back or chest
Trouble breathing
Hoarseness or wheezing
Exhaustion, weakness or loss of appetite

Two years
before my diagnosis I began to have this cough that would come and go- and so I
mentioned this to my primary doctor on more than one occasion. He told me to take cough syrup and it would
go away. Then one month before my
diagnosis I went to the doctor for flu shot.
I had lost ten pounds and hadn’t even been trying. I knew there was something wrong. I never lose weight. So, I mentioned this to my primary
doctor. I told him I had just bought a
house and I was walking my dog, Betty every day. He laughed and said, “There is nothing to
worry about, that dog might be the best thing you ever got!”
When I
was diagnosed a month later, November
12, 2012 I remembered that
appointment with my primary. I guess if
you are smiling and ‘look healthy’- there is nothing to worry about!’
