MRI addendum 'fluid in the bases of lungs'

Hello All,

I'm new here and have been reading lots of your posts in the hope that someone has been through something similar to me...

I'm 33, had an MRI of my spine that found evidence of Ankloysing Spondylitis. However, there was also an addendum on the results saying that there was a 'small amount of fluid found at the bases of your lungs' and they have lined up a chest X-Ray for me on Tuesday. Obviously I went straight to 'doctor Google' (not good, I know) and all that keeps popping up is either heart failure or lung cancer! (I have had no chest infections/pneumonia/chest trauma/infections/ coughs) Then I found this forum and it appears people have had fluid on their lungs that wasn't necessarily life threatening/ending.

I suppose what I'm really asking is if anyone can offer me any hope that they have been through the same thing and it turned out to be OK(ish!).
