Is it possible to get cancer if there is no family history of it?


Posted by laurak220

I developed asthma after going into anaphylatic shock with penicillin about 15 yrs ago.  It is normally well controlled but the past week I have been having a terrible time which ended me up in the emergency room the other night.  They did a CT Scan with contrast to make sure I didn't have pneumonia or a blood clot and said they found a 5mm nodule on the middle part of my right lung.  No pneumonia though.  There is no family history of cancer....is this something I should be concerned about?
