  • Hello Dancing feet, and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry you are going through this, it is a difficult time waiting for results and scans.

    There are other reasons for chest X-rays to look abnormal, like scarring from previous infections, but doctors need to investigate anything they see fully.

    Take care and I hope you get more information soon. If you find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
