Was scared!

Thursday last week, I took my son to the doctor for his monthly check-up. My son’s health is fragile and his immune system is weak due to taking steroids for his kidney. He was coughing again and to rule out any serious ailment that could compromise his present condition, his doctor ordered a chest x-ray. I was also coughing so I decided to have a chest x-ray myself. Turned out my son’s result was negative, chest is clear of any obstructions or densities while mine was suspect. A questionable linear density was noted overlying my second anterior rib on the right. I was advised to go thru another x-ray for further evaluation, this time an antilordotic view. I was scared! I went to the hospital on Saturday, more depressed than I already was, and took the test. The whole of Sunday I was agonizing, I could not concentrate, I was so afraid of what the result would be. My x-ray in 2010 was fantastic. I could not believe I have questionable densities on my right lung this time.

Today, Monday, I got the result…..both upper lobes are clear! Praise God, now I can smile again :)
