I had chest x ray yesterday and they asked me to go again today and have another chest x ray. I m concerned for previously had chest x ray and they saw some nodes. I followed up in a year and they said that they hadn t grown, but that was years ago. Although I haven t got the results yet-- I m worried..
You are rightly advised for follow up X-rays. This is normal protocol if nodes are present. Repeat x-ray is advised to assess increase in size of nodes. It is good it is not increased in size,this shows its benign nature.
