Pleural Thickening of the Lining Around the Lung Posted: 02-27-07 10:51am
Hi There,
My mom just had a physical and was called
back. They weren't sure if she had a
pleural thickening of the lining of a
possible bone change. They re-did a
second x-ray an focused in on the area of
concern. It is a thickening of the lining
and the doctor and radiologist said it
looks very suspicious and they want a ct
scan a.s.a.p. She is going this Wednesday
and it's only been four days since this
news. She has had a bad pain in her
upper back exactly where they did the
second xray. She's had it for about three
years, but the last six months it's been
quite painful. Has anyone else gone
through this? Any info. to share?
We know it could be cancer and was told
that they can't at this point tell for
sure. If anyone can share and info. it
would be appriciated. Please share
anything you have good or bad.
