Suggest Treatment For Breathing Difficulty And Cough While Having COPD

Hi, my name is Judy. I am having some difficulties breathing, but I do have the starting stages of COPD. I have had a cough for 4 months now, with clear congestion. I had a lung surgery April a year ago when they found a mass on my left lung. It turned out that It was not cancer, that it was a bacteria fungus infection. I now have to go have a special cat scan because they found another mass on my left lung on an xray last week. I was wondering if you could tell me what all this means?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if these are the some kind of masses detected in plain x-ray then CT scan is must to confirm the lesion and some time may need biopsies and without these nothing can be said anything for sure even clinical condition may not give any clue and one need to go under these test, now lets hope for good hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
