Hi everyone my name is Liz and I have had a recent chest x ray that has revealed a shadow on the bottom of my left lung. I am waiting for a CT scan and the worse thing for me is my mind feels muddled. I recently had a chest infection treated with everything. Diff biotics and steriods. I work full time andI am never still for long only recieved the phone call from my doctor yesterday. The hardest thing really is concentrating. I have a responsible job but havent been the sharpest knife in the box remembering stuff like I normally do

 

  • Welcome to our forum, llizb.

    I'm sorry to hear that the chest x-ray revealed a shadow on the bottom of your left lung and I can appreciate why this is making you worried but do try to prevent your mind from going into overdrive until you speak to your doctor again, if you can. I know it is easier said than done but stress rarely makes things better. 

    Do you have a date for your next appointment already?

    Once you know more, come back and give us an update on your situation. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

    Warm wishes,
