Hard to say.: These are somewhat nebulous findings. The suspicious densities in the R apex are concerning for an infectious process given your young age and your geographic location. Consider Tuberculosis.

See below: An enlarged heart(cardiomegaly) on a chest x-ray can be due to failure to take a deep enough breath during the X-ray(pseudo-cardiomegaly). It can also be due to a number of cardiac diseases, see http://wb.md/1buYnnB "Suspicious densities " may be due to infection, malignancy, old scarring and a number of other conditions. A CT of chest is needed to decide if the finding is significant.

Possible tumor: While it could be scarring, pneumonia, or an artifact of the x-ray, there is concern for a cancereous tumor in the right lung. In a 32 year old woman, this is unlikely.
