Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A slight hardened nose is unlikely to be a lung cancer. Symptoms of lung cancer might include the following.
Cough which does not improve on treatment
Loss of weight more than 10 percent in 2 months
Blood in sputum which cannot be explained
Lumps around the neck
Change in voice
Regular respiratory infection
Please get a cancer screening done at your nearest hospital and also have chest X ray done. Please do not worry.
