A member asked:
I have stage iv breast cancer(in remission, 4years) on my latest ct scan they found biapical pleural and parenchymal scarring, is it something for me to be worried about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you've ever had radiation treatments for your breast cancer this scarring may be the effects of that. A pulmonologist can evaluate and advise you about the cause of the scarring and its effects on your lung function
