Posted on Wed, 25 Jan 2017
Question: Hi, I have been informed I have a small spot on bottom of my right lung. I was not concerned but have been advised to investigate further as my family has a history of Cancer. I also suffer from sore shoulders and breathlessness at times.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on Health Care Magic.
I would like to see your x ray which shows this lesion.
But if you have breathlessness and you are not Asthmatic then you better investigate further.
Please get a HRCT of the chest done to evaluate further.
Meanwhile don't worry about it .It is better to finish off with the investigation than to keep worrying about it
Hopethis helps
