Should I be Worried about Husbands Chest X-Ray? He's Tested Posted: 03-31-06 15:16pm
My husband recently had a chest xray
because his tb test came back possitive...
(this was for immigration). They called
and said they needed to do another view
because the saw a spot on his lung. They
did the other view but found that to be
ok. There was no further explaination and
he was sent on his way with the paperwork
he needed for his appointment in april.
My question is ..is this something we
should be worried about or could it be
nothing. He has no symptoms of any kind
and feels good. Thank you.
If doctors saw something suspicious on a
chest X-ray (they are looking for signs of
lung cancer or tuberculosis) your husband
would have been kept in the hospital for
further analyses. If you would like to
follow up on his case, you and your
husband can return to the assisting doctor
and review his X-rays...you don't need to
be left with unanswered questions about
his health.
