what does it mean if your told you have a shadow on your lung?

Answer 1

Since I work at a medical university, I can tell you there are different criteria of the shadowing. A smoker or a miner can have deposited residue. Cancer will leave a light to deep dark shadows, meaning the degree of cancer. Also, there are some lung diseases that will show up with the same shadow as lung cancer.

Answer 2

Shadow On Lung

Answer 3

Hi Kat - its as the other answers say there is no telling - only further tests and results of same will indicate to the docs what may be the problem. I had a shadow on my lung a few years back and the first thing the medical profession think of is cancer especially as at that time I did smoke. I may not be the same age as your gran and each persons diagnosis will be individually their own. After several test results, xrays and scan it was revealed I had a lung infection and I was later diagnosed with emphysema COPD. Several courses of anti-biotics didn't clear the lung infection / shadow, a course of steroids did. I am now infection and shadow free. Hope your gran's tests/xray proves treatable too. Good Wishes

Answer 4

Hopefully not too much. I was advised that I had a shadow over one my lungs a couple of years ago. and more recently it was confirmed the shadow was pleural thickening caused by a exposure to asbestos. Its not known how or where I was exposed but for now I'm in good health. There are no guarentees as I was previously a heavy smoker. Almost four months now. Best of luck and don't worry, things will be fine.

Last xmas my husband had a chest xray and doctors found a shadow on his lung, he was referred to a consultant who did a 2nd xray shadow was still there. They said they thought it was cancer, he had a bronchoscopy (camera into lung and a biopsy) results were negative. He was sent for a CT scan and a nuclear xray both proved negative. Doctors came to the conclusion that he didn't have anything wrong with him, but it didn't stop it being frightening. My mum had a shadow on her lung it turned out she had an infection and pneumonia antibiotics clearing it up. Try not to worry and Good luck God Bless.

Answer 6

It could be any number of things - infection, fluid etc.
Every part of the body is made up of cells, there are 600 trillion cells althogether. If cells are diseased, the immune system should step in to repair them, but if the immune system is weakened then it is incapable of doing the job without the intervention of outside help.
Toxins cause the immune system to become less efficient, so I would try to avoid drugs at all costs. All drugs are toxic.
You need something that will get the immune system to be able to recognise that there are cells that are not functioning correctly.
There is a group of naturals that are taking the world by storm. Thousands of people do not need to take any prescription medicine and no longer need to consul a doctor, they do not get ill. I have not been ill in the past three years and no longer need drugs. I found a great website with loads of tesimonies on from people who have had their illnesses turned around.
Take a look.

Answer 7

My husband was told he had a shadow on his lung and he was in a lot of pain.

Turned out to be pneumonia which was serious enough but was cured with a large course of antibiotics.

Hope this helps.

hi Kat thats really difft to answer without knowing the details, i'm afraid it is a possibility especially if she has been a smoker. Any weight loss? has she coughed up any blood? The other possibilities are infection or collapse or fluid, she will probably be referred to a chest pysician urgently and seen within 2 weeks, he will arrange further investigations usually a Ct scan +/-bronchoscopy with biopsy of the mass. I hope all turns out ok x

Quit Smoking or inhaling foreign substances and start eating a 95% raw organic vegetable diet with fruits and juices and pure water.
It means that you have not been eating, drinking or resting correctly and/or doing bad habits.
