Now you need help. Why would you start smoking at 14? It was your choice and now its your fault.
Edit: @Eden Being fat isnt illegal. Smoking underage is their choice. That’s why there are laws. Eating is a part of life, something you need. Being fat may or may not be a persons fault depending on the circumstances. But Smoking was her choice. She went against the law and now shes gonna pay for it. I do feel some sort of sympathy for her but at the same time i feel she was being irresponsible.
Most pulmonary nodules are benign, meaning it isn’t cancerous. However there is a chance it could be malignant. I suppose the good news (other than it moree liekly being benign) is that it has been found early. Lung cancer is hard to treat radically (intent to cure), however it can be done. Being young, you are a good candidate for surgery to remove it if it is in a good position. You would also be fit enough to have chemotherapy, so if it is malignant it can be treated. But don’t worry yourself about it, don’t keep thinking on how it could be cancerous. And I suggest quitting smoking, but it is a personal choice.
