In my opinion you should not worry much. As your lesion in the right side of your chest is remaining static throughout the yearly followup. Any lung insult in the form of pneumonia, TB or blunt chest trauma leaves healing in the lung tissue. And healing in the form of fibrosis and calcification remains as such throughout the life. So no need to worry. Another rare possibility is of agenesis of upper lobe on right side. It is congenital defect in which right upper lobe fails to develop fully. Better to go for CT thorax. It will give you more idea than chest x ray.
