Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, these can be fibrotic bands or any disease of lung affecting parenchyma or soft tissue of lung and not airways or air sacks. Old infection like TB can be one cause but connective tissue disorders etc. can be causative. Pulmonologist review is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
