    Having lost my mum to lung cancer 5 days ago i can tell you myself she had NO symptoms at all, she was only diagnosed when the cancer spread to 5 other areas and she developed symptoms from her secondary tumours, BUT you have had 2 doctors check you out and tell you that you are fine. LOTS of different conditions affect the lungs and cause a cough, lung cancer at your age especially would be almost unheard of, so please, try not to worry, theres nothing else anyone else can do to prove to you that you do not have cancer so you need to help yourself and stop thinking so irrationally.

    I saw many hundreds of lung cancer patients
    in my 20 years as a cancer specialist doctor.
    None of them were under age 30. Very few were under age 45.
    Age 15 makes a primary lung carcinoma extremely unlikely.
    But we cannot diagnose over the internet sight unseen.
    Your doctor has all of the medical history, examinations, blood work,
    and x-ray studies which we do not have here.

    You don't have lung cancer. Not even close. Your doctors are right. 15 year olds don't get lung cancer. Stop stressing and live your life! It's just a Cough!

    It normally takes 20-30 years for lung cancer to develop before it starts to present symptoms. At the age of 15 it will be extremely rare for you to have lung cancer. The cough you describe could be due to various other factors. For your personal satisfaction you should see your doctor.
