What Does The Following CECT Scan Report Suggest?

I had a CECT scan done for Thorax region (Chest) & the report says as below Fibroatelectatic band with calcification seen in the posterior segment of right upper lobe . The doctor from the internal medicine department who advised on this finds a degeneration on the upper right region of the lung & asked me to consult a pulmonologist for further medication. However, I need to know if the above is really fatal & to be worried about. Need your kind advise.
