Hello and thanks for your post
A chest x-ray is a test that can help to show up changes in the lungs. Changes can be due to cancer but can also be caused by other lung conditions.
We always encourage people to make an appointment to see their GP if their symptoms are persisting. Doctors are trained to assess symptoms and can arrange tests if they feel it’s necessary to try to find out what might be going on.
I hope you know more about your situation soon.
Kind regards,
Celene
so they can tell the difference between chest infection and a lung tumour.
Hi,
For more information about having a chest xray and to know more about why they are done please look on the NHS website here
Take care,
