A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated conditio: It's hard to answer. Obtain a copy of all medical reports & medical images (like the chest X-ray) to upload onto HealthTap Prime; or, discuss those results with your doctor at length. Depending on the X-ray appearance, those "shadows" could be metastasis (spread) of breast cancer - Stage IV if +ve biopsy - or be figments of imagination. Full staging should be completed b4 treatment. Best Wishes.
