I have lung cancer, although it is not too serious, I am always worried about getting it passed on, moms. To prevent it, I often go online to learn about scientific diet and lifestyle and absolutely follow it. This morning I accidentally found in a newspaper how to detect lung cancer myself, moms. If you do it this way, I find it extremely easy, and you will know the results quickly. Self-check for lung cancer by placing 2 fingers close together.
Many experts say that checking for lung cancer by placing the tips of the index fingers close together, and this test is medically called the “Schamroth window test”.
The “Schamroth window test” is often used by doctors for quick cancer screening, but anyone can also do it themselves – and it only takes a few seconds. This test can reveal signs of a symptom called “clubbing” caused by lung cancer.
Warning about this, Emma Norton, a cancer nurse at BUPA UK, said most people with lung cancer are unaware of clubbing. This is a condition that causes the fingertips to become larger and is thought to be due to fluid accumulation, although it is not clear exactly what cancer causes this. However, this symptom is quite common with about 35% of people suffering from it. Lung cancer is a dangerous disease, whether you smoke or not, you can still get the disease. With this test, in 2018, a woman named Jean Taylor (53 years old, in the UK) discovered that she had lung cancer. In addition, she also had other symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, weight loss.
To do the test, people should hold the tips of their index fingers back to back so that the two nails are pressed together, and see if there is a gap between them. If there is no gap, this is not only a sign of lung cancer, but also a sign of many other diseases such as liver disease, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or AIDS.
