Brief Answer:
It all sounds fine

Detailed Answer:
Hi Princepia,

It is a nodule of uncertain significance. Considering your age, it is very unlikely to be cancer. The radiologist recommends a follow-up scan; if it does not grow, it is unlikely a cancer. The risk of cancer is especially low if you have never smoked.

Hope this helps.

It does not look like PF

It does not look like PF. Problems with breathing can be many things, e.g. heart disease, asthma. Have you been examined for these conditions?

Brief Answer:
Have you tried positive end-expiratory flow apparatus?

Detailed Answer:
Hi again Princepia,

Lung collapse is bit of a stretch. Instead, small parts of your lung have smaller than normal amounts of air. This may be relieved with the use of positive end-expiratory flow devices (to blow in). Have you tried this?
