Hi sorry for posting I have been getting symptoms for around a year shortness of breath chest pain shoulder pain pain in ribs and back and dizziness the first xray I had 7 month ago came back fine I have just had a xray done and bloods my bloods showed low vit d and folic acid and I got a call from gp saying doctor had commented on xray saying probably infection antibiotics and redo in 6 week the question I am asking is that surely if something was worrying on that xray would they have send me for a ct rather than making me wait a further 6 weeks with the symptoms I'm feeling I am 34 and petrified of lung cancer and feel if I have it it would be advance stage and so would they have been able to tell diffrence between an infection and cancer on xray
