    First of all, deep breaths! I know it’s easier said than done!

    I have not had shadows on my X-rays but I just had 2 done due to having bronchitis for almost 2 months. I was worried because I’m a hypochondriac but the X-rays came back normal.

    Shadows can mean many things! It could be fluid, calcification, or begnin tumors. Doesn’t have to mean malignant. I would think you would have other symptoms if the shadow was a tumor or something to be concerned about. 

    Please keep us updated and stay positive!

    I understand the stress you must be under right now.  You are certainly validated in your thoughts.  Please let us know how the MRI turns outs.  I had the flu in November ( I also have emphysema) and coughed so much I have a compression fracture in my lower spine.  The pain is on my left side upper shoulder and lower back.  These were the same symptoms my sister experienced before being diagnosed with cancer.  Don't jump  to conclusions if possible.  I will be praying for you Ted.
