Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the report you have shared, the lung status overall is Ok but haziness ie densities in the perihilar area may be because of the stasis of fluid in that area or shrinking of the small area of lung due to smoking or any dust exposure that needs workup.
I would recommend you to get high-resolution CT scan of the chest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
