Weird Test Results

We all get these standard medical tests - like a colonoscopy.... I get regular chest x-rays... Why? Because back in the dark ages of my thryoid cancer, they saw a ' thingy ' in my lungs. It was a benign thingy but they wanted annual chest x-rays to check on it to make sure it didn ' t do anything.So after over 25 years of annual chest x-rays for the thingy, I was told they no longer needed annual chest x-rays for thingy ' s, they would wait until any symptoms occurred. Then, as luck would have it, I was put on methotrexate for my rheumatoid. As there is a possibility of lung problems caused by methotrexate, I was put back on ' sort of ' annual chest x-rays again.This week I saw my rheumatologist and she realized I hadn ' t had an annual chest x-ray for at least two years so she said it was time. So I went.Yesterday the results showed up with a weird comment.... I hate weird little comments from radiologists. I sent a message to my rheumatologist for an explanation. I really hope its a nothing. I don ' t believe it is related to the original ' thingy ' but I do want a definition.The problem is that once you have cancer, with every weird test result you start to go back on that really bad cancer roller coaster with all the ' what if ' s ' floating through your brain. I just hope I get an answer soon. Dr Google gave me lots of really bad reasons for the cause of this weird comment so I really want to know asap. And I need to remember to avoid Dr Google.
