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. Thanks, Worried Daughter
