Could Pleural Thickening In The Right Lung Have Healed On Its Own?
in the last 20 years I have had numerous xrays and a ct scan that read positive for plueral thicking in the right lung. last xray I had , the doctor said that there was no sign of it. I did work with asbestos for ten years. quit smoking 25 years ago. so can it just go away?
