A member asked:
Was told that i have a raspberry plantlike bacteria growing in my lungs that can lead to lung cancer!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Really?: I doubt it would lead to cancer. But, who knows? Most likely though, bacterial infection, such as what you have described, can lead to recurrent obstructive pneumonia and may need to be removed.
