Its unlikely to be lung cancer. If you are worried see the doctor again and be open about your fears. A simple chest X ray will show lung cancer if it is present.

Just in case Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day – about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water – Vit C is a natural diuretic.

I'm certainly not a medical expert but try this; when you get this pain take an over the counter med for heartburn or indigestion like Mylanta, Pepsid, Tums. Don't be afraid to take just a little more then the directions tell you. See if that works (It takes a few minutes). If it does work you'll have better information to give to your doctor. Two people in my family have the pain you are describing. One has an acid reflux problem and the other person, I think, has an ulcer.
But you need more testing. And an X=ray doesn't always reveal the definitive answer to your symptoms. Sometimes you need to go to an MRI or a Cat-scan. Wish you the best.

I would ask her to do a CAT scan to be sure. Also ask her to check your heart since most of the time, your heart could be having some kind of a problem. Maybe you should lie down on a couch or on your bed for 15 minutes or so per day so your blood could flow easier during the day.

If it persists, see the doctor again. The odds of lung cancer in a 22 year old are extremely low.

Don't worry my friend
Just check with a doctor who is specialized in the treatment. Do not worry about things and better check out earlier. Things will go really smoother. Just visit the link to know about cancer so that you can analyze yourself.

the old saying is if you feel the pain and it is cancer its to late, but if I were you I would go back to the doc and tell him to do chest x ray it could be just heart burn or acid reflux any way you need to go have all this check out and be sure to tell your doc everything even the cancer part, that way he can at least put your mind to rest Good luck and may God bless
