Hi,
Form your description, you obviously have lung disease, but there is nothing to specifically suggest lung cancer. Please relax. I think that the CT has been ordered to get a detailed imaging of the lung and document extent of disease.
Smoking is a bad idea for anyone. For you, it could lead to severe health deterioration. Please quit smoking right away. Seek professional help if necessary.
Continue to be under the supervision of a pulmonologist.
All the best for the CT scan, and God Bless!
Hi,
I hope you have quit smoking.
Any condition that causes chronic inflammation of the lung tissue can result in scarring.
Common causes include smoking, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases), pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, inhalation of dust, fumes, or metals, farmers lung, interstitial lung diseases, infection (bacteria, tuberculosis, fungus) etc.
Please consult your pulmonologist for getting appropriate investigations done.
Good Luck!
thank you very much but, what kind of lung diseases are possible?
