hello, everyone, this is my first time posting on this board, I have been posting on the MS board all of my symptoms because that was the direction the doctor and nuero were going. however they discovered something on one of the x-rays and I just have some questions.
the results say " incidental Nodular density in right lung" and she wants further testing. the problem is I lost my insurance and have no way to pay for more test.
i know she has been thinking cancer because she also found some nodules in my throat.
i dont really believe its cancer because I have had swollowing difficulties for 6 years now and I lose my voice often and this started about 6 or 7 years ago, I was smoke free for 4 years before these symptoms started.
I find it hard to believe that after 6 years I could still have an infection or cancer without a worsening of symptoms, and my previous doctor over the last year did blood platlets and I was told tested for cancer and white blood cells. so i would think that if it was cancer or an infection; one of these test would have come back abnormal. so i am a little confused by my doctor
any help or ideas would be apprieciated as I said i lost my insurance and am a little freaked out about these results.
thanks
