Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It is nearly impossible to conclude with this information… even with more, at times
The priority is to evaluated curable conditions…
Accurate diagnosis demands further investigation – CT scan / Bronchoscopy / Biopsy and so on…
The treating doctor alone could conclude better based on total clinical picture…

Good luck
God bless her
