Hello, I have been unwell for some time including a fever for months which the GP could not find a cause despite having lots of tests.  I did however test positive for coeliac disease but as this did not explain the fever I was given a chest xray. This came back as 'borderline' with the explanation that there was a compound shadow or small pocket of infection on the rib/lung. I had a repeat xray 6 weeks later and have now been told there is a lesion highly suspicious of malignancy. I was then sent for a contrast CT scan and awaiting the results of that.

I am terrified. I have 2 small children and now worry for their future also. I guess what I'm asking is there any hope that I don't have cancer? Is there anything else it could be? I am so consumed by the worry I'm struggling with daily life and don't know where to turn. What should I expect to happen now?

TIA
