I'm not looking for medical advice rather other people's experiences or outcomes. I went for a routine chest xray on my heart which showed my heart is fine but showed a shadow on one of my lungs. I've a repeat xray in about 4 weeks. Part of me thinks it's nothing but pay of me thinks tha worst and that's running away with me at the minute.

Everyone's experience is going to be different. You should speak to your medical practitioner.

I'd the same things last year but it had disappeared in 2nd scan.

Of course and I've spoken to my gp and have the follow up xray booked for 4 weeks time.
It's just this waiting and not knowing is hard. He's said it may or may not be something. I'm just wondering what other outcomes people have had. Is it often the case that a Shadow on the lung is "nothing".

Thank you. I feel like I'm cracking up at times. Telling myself it's more than likely nothing but then sick with worry that it could be something.

First and foremost.......

THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE BOARD.

No medical advice will be given here, so please don't ask for any.
If you want medical advice go to your GP.

If you have a medical condition and/or are worried about any symptoms you have or therapy you receive, please go to your GP and do not post them here as they cannot be addressed on this forum.

Hopefully it's nothing.

The Long Term Illness forum may have some useful information on coping. And I see you've a thread there.
