Brief Answer:
Hello. There is nothing to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear.
I have gone through the details.
Your x-ray seems to be normal and the lesion which you are describing in right middle lobe is cut image of pulmonary artery. So there is nothing to worry.
A groin node if enlarged is most likely due to some infectious process and needs to be evaluated by a physician.
Still a word of caution: you need to quit smoking as soon as possible as smoking is one of the greatest cause of cancer.
Thanks and regards
