Advanced symptoms
When lung cancer advances, symptoms will become more prominent. These symptoms will develop after the signs above have made themselves known:
- Pain in the bones of the back or hips, possible broken bones
- Swollen lymph nodes in the neck or collarbone region
- Headache, dizziness, balance problems, seizures, weakness in the limbs, and other nervous system issues
- Yellow eyes or skin and other signs of liver problems
- Blood clots
If we’re talking of cancer in the upper lungs, then we’re talking about a non-small cell lung cancer called Pancoast tumors. These cancers cause a set of strange symptoms called Horner syndrome. Its symptoms include:
- Drooping eyelid
- One small pupil
- Sweating on only one side of the face
