Do I have lung cancer? Oh god.. chondriac freak out?!?

Just now I was checking out lung cancer, for no apparent reason, and the symptoms sound like mine.

I've been diagnosed with pneumonia a numerous times since I was younger (9ish). I'm 13 now.

I don't have a chronic cough.. but I do have pinching pains in my shoulder, in near my rib cage.

I often have shortness of breath, but at birth I had a nasal obstruction ( I can't breath fully out of my nose). Anyways I've always had trouble breathing, often infections involving lungs and breathing.

Recently I was diagnosed with pharyngitis, then pneumonia, AND THEN MONONUCLEOSIS.

Please tell me I'm okay. I'm a hypochondriac and I'm panicking. I'm fine now, I can breath.

I also have sleep apnea.. *not severe, only when sick..

HELP.

Update:

Haha, I know mono isn't a cancer. Phew, tell me something.

Update 2:

Anyone?

Update 3:

I'm a hypochondriac, it's a real condition.. have some sympathy. I suffer from it everyday. :/ Thank you for a response, I need to sleep tonight.

    No, you dont. I have had pneumonia 2 times, bronchitis 3 times, allergies are horrible, I have sleep apnea...mono is not a cancer.

    I am not a Dr. but you should be checked out, the test is pretty easily done.

    Stop being a drama queen and checking things out for no apparent reason if you cannot handle it.

    Teenagers do not get lung cancer.
