shadow on apex of right lung

Hi

I started with a cough about 3 weeks ago. I have had no wheeze in my lungs. Dry and unproductive, then productive and green (and in sinuses too) very tickly but not in lungs, in bronchal tubes I guess. Was quite breathless. Given antibiotics and steroids 13/6 and then 2nd course antibiotics 20/6.

I had a chest x-ray this morning and at lunch-time got a call from my doc to say that the radiologist wanted to do a CAT scan.

I know that it is a long way from a cancer diagnosis but I can't get it out of my mind that it might be.

I would appreciate any feedback - support, advice, personal experiences etc.

I understand that it's a wait and see situation but I know there will be people on here that know how I feel.

Thanks for reading this and best wishes to you all.

I had a chest X ray on Saturday and got the dreaded call from the surgery today. Now I am signed of work for two weeks told to rest and told I will have apt sent thru for the hospital within 10days Was wondering if you could help.... Regards D
