just wondered if anyone had experienced similar?
diagnosed with DVT on october 1st
started on warfarin had a chest xray to check for PE that came back clear
then had a CT scan last week
today recieved a letter for an appointment with a lung specialist
apparently the xray and subsequent scan show a small mark/ shadow that the doc cant identify at the hospital hence the referral
i had a post op DVT and PE in 2003 and i am hoping that it is scarring from the old PE that is showing
appointment isnt till tuesday and my mind is running away with itself, really worried its lung cancer!
im in good health as in no cough, shortage of breath or chest pains
anyone else experience this?
thanks in advance
