Shadow on lung

[beckersjay]

I have had an undiagnosed lung problem for about 2 weeks - no luck with antiobiotics. Symptoms include a wheezy, crackly chest, bad shoulder and backpain and some breathlessnes and an annoying but dry cough
The doctor has just told me that the xray shows a shadow on one lung and has referred me for an urgent consultant appointment.
Obviously I am really scared. Is there realistically anything this can be but cancer? Waiting for the appointment is going to be hell on earth so feedback from any ABers with knowledge or experience of this sort of thing would be enormously appeciated. I may be offline for a few hours so if I don't respond to feedback immediately. please don't think I'm not grateful for it.
