Lung nodules

Pretty much like my procedure last year for lower right. But I was already being scrutinised after having bowel resection in 03. I didn't have breathing issues tho', is your dad a smoker? 

Thanks for getting back. My dad was a smoker but kicked the habit in 24 years ago. Three mo the ago he took homself to A&E with breathing cut long story short, kept him in 10 days. On cardio ward. Did extensive blood tests, chest X ray etc. Outcome was Pneumonia and Heart failure. Was treated for pneumonia sent home. week later got a letter saying he never had Heart failure then discharged. Only for me telling my dad to go back to G.P then after this Scan these were found. I have put a complaint to PALS as can't believe they missed this. X

Hi, devils advocate, if they didn't do a scan, it could have been missed. My mum had an X ray shortly before testing properly started which was clear, I too wondered why it wasn't picked up then, but apparently it can often go unseen in x-rays. 

Yes, an X Ray doesn't always show the problem - my lung cancer didn't show but due to symptoms (coughing blood) I was sent for an MRI scan which did show it.
