The word pneumonologist or pneumologist is used in some areas to mean a pulmonologist, a Doctor Who is an expert on the lungs and respiration.
The correct term is "pulmonologist," which refers to a medical doctor specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of lung and respiratory diseases. "Pneumologist" is not commonly used in English, though it may appear in some other languages. Therefore, when referring to a specialist in this field, "pulmonologist" is the appropriate choice.
A doctor who is a breathing specialist is more usually called a pulmonologist.The terms pneumologist or pneumonologist appear in some translations of the specialty.
A Pancoast Tumor is a kind of lung cancer that is situated in the upper part of the chest. Thus, it causes not only shortness of breath, cough and weight loss, but also neurological symptoms like paresthesia and pain in the arm and hand of the affected side, and others. The doctor you have to see is a lung specialist (pulmonologist or pneumologist) and/or a cancer specialist (oncologist). Other doctors who deal with the P. Tumor are neurologists and thoracic surgeons. Hope I could help - Christian W. Meyer, MD
Think about that smoking won't solve your problems, which are everyone's problems. Think about that your health begins to get better just after 8 minutes without smoking. Think about that your sufferings further on do not compensate any pleasure while smoking today. Thing about how much you are going to save by being a non-smoker. Don't think anymore. Start a new life right now. The first week is difficult, but you'll forget cigarette soon. Try electronic cigarette on the first stage of abstinence. Ask for help from a pneumologist. Have you ever seen someone with mouth or lung cancer dying ? It represents a lot of suffering, so much that you'll quit smoking at once. I am a non-smoker for 32 years, and quit it suddenly after having smoked for 20 years.
