Hi

I am a 45 year old female with off an on ( the past 4 years) with shortness 9f breath, wheezing, and dry cough. Had ct scan of
.chest almost 4 years ago and it was clear. Just had a chest xray yesterday and the nurse called and said that the xray had a " neoplastic appearance, that is, cancerous appearance on the left upper lobe," and the doctor ordered a ct scan for two days later( tomorrow). Needless to say I was scared to death and had the nurse tell the doctor to call me. I told him what the nurse said, and he apologized and said that he would speak with her tomorrow, and that until he gets the ct scan results, he doesn't know what it is. It could be an infection or something else.
