Simple as that, lovelies.

From what i’ve seen, i’ve come to believe that non-small is when the cancer is stil relatively localized? and small cell is when its spreading rapidly already by the time it is diagonosed…. am i correct? I need to know this for a health project, so thanks for any answers..

i tan in a tanning bed, and never go long enough to burn, but i do go nearly every week day for a month or two, then stop for like 6 months. my friend smokes daily, and probably a pack a day on weekends. which one of use are more likely to end up with cancer? she’s lectures me about tanning, but i don’t know that what i’m doing is any worse than what she is.

I’m 16 years old, 5’4 and 96 pounds, I smoke about half or less a pack a day, and I started smoking more within this year, I did on and off for about two or so years. I’ve recently gotten pains a little to the right of my left armpit, I’m thinking my lungs. I also started playing sports again this year, and supposedly that can make your lungs a bit sore. I was just curious if size mattered. Would I be more likely to develop lung cancer over someone who weighs more? I’m just obtaining symptoms, and am sore in that area.
