Why Does White Clouds Appear On The CAT Scan Of The Lungs?
I have a history of lung cancer. My left lower lobe was removed, a small portion of my right lower lobe, and I had chemo and radiation for cancer in my brachial tube on the right side. Now My cat scans show up with cloudy lungs all the time and I have a hard time breathing. My O2 sat is always 93% or better. They say they can not tell for sure if I have cancer again but do not believe I do. All 3 cancers where different. So what is going on?
