I have pleural based lung issues. Is it cancer?

Hi Registrar- Good morning. Mentors cannot give medical professionals. We use our own experiences to support and give members recommendations based on their experience. I am a patient also.

This doesn't sound very clear to me. It must frustrate the xxx out of you. Can you have a sit-down or conference call with one of your doctors to find out what the test results mean? Something sounds off here. A year to wait?

Have you stopped smoking or has the doctor refused to treat you based on continued smoking (if you are still smoking)?

Thank you, Merry. I'm going to look into getting a second radiological reading with a different institution (I'm not trusting mine much). I'm fine paying out of pocket if it's not covered by insurance. I just want someone "new" to read them and give me their impression. Appreciate your input. Have a lovely weekend!!
