I have been feeling a little breathless over the past year and went to to see my doctor. He informed me that nothing was wrong and I was probaly just anxious with all the latest panic over this virus. I explained that I was anxious recently but this has been happening for over a year. He insisted everything was ok and I had nothing to worry about. I told him that did not make sense and I was quite worried so he referred me to a respiratory nurse, I got the feeling this was to get me out of his room so he could see the next patient.

Nurse rings me up a week later and says that my symptoms sound like COPD or asthma and sends me for an xray.

Xray shows up a shadow on my right lung and doctor wants me to go for scan.

First thing I do is google shadow on lung and I am faced with loads of information about cancer. Has anyone else had a similar xray show up a shadow and is it always cancer that causes this. So worried this is stopping me sleeping and I spend all day worried I have COPD or cancer and if this is the case is there any treatment. Any help or advise would be really appreciated.
