Was my doctor right to say this?

I've had concerns about symptoms for a while now due to smoking. She didn't want to look into it. She said "You've only been smoking 20 years, you don't have cancer"

your primary care physican can't look into it. Your doc can' recommend you see a specialits For instance if it was a breathing issue you complained about recommending a pulmonologists.

what kind of cancer do you think you have and what is stopping you from seeing a specalists in that field?

I didn't necessarily tell her I thought I had cancer, but maybe copd. I mean who knows, there could be cancer starting somewhere. I've also had sensations in my esophagus
