0n 4/2/17 I was at the ER for a kidney infection and a chest xray was ordered. I have been a smoker on and off for 19 years always having a clean chest xrays. The ER Doctor told me the radiologist had seen what may be a blood vessell issue but sent me home with nodule paperwork. My family is prone to cysts , lesion and tumors so of course im scared to death. There is a snippet from my xray report below..Mind you the severe and I do mean severe congestion I had in my chest was never mentioned on the repport at all. 2 days into the kindey infection antibiotics my chest got tight and all this congestion started coming up..Hard lumps, phlegm , etc..My bloodwork believe it or not is all normal. No WBC, RBC , Platlet issues period. Please look below and tell me how scared I should be. I have no symptoms except this cough that is going away and this pesky xray. No wieght loss, Normal blood work, Routine and severe bouts of bronchitis since I was a kid

2. 12 mm nodular density overlying the right lower lung. This could

however underlying pulmonary nodule/lesion cannot be excluded. Consider
|
further assessment with low-dose unenhanced chest CT examination.
