bosley: I, too, was dealing with shortness of breath and major fatigue issues for months after my bout with covid. Tired of dealing with it, I finally asked my PCP if ANYTHING else could account for my ongoing symptoms. Probably to mollify me, she ordered an upper chest x-ray. Imagine our shock and surprise when it revealed a neoplasm suspicious for cancer in my right upper lung. Further testing, etc, confirmed the diagnosis. I'm stage 3 and in treatment now. Your result doesn't have to be the same as mine; I only mention it to encourage you to take the steps necessary to at least rule it out! Good luck to you.

Georgia, I'm so glad that you were able to convince your PCP for further testing. You may be interested in connecting with other members dealing with lung cancer in the Lung Cancer support group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/lung-cancer/
