Thank you for your replies. The doctor has made a request to the hospital for the chest x ray, so I suppose I'll get a letter when it's arranged.

It’s much more likely you have something less serious than cancer but I appreciate you are scared. Well done for seeing your GP and I hope the X-ray will put your mind at rest . Please make your appt ASAP and be reassured. Let us know how you get on

It could well be asthma so don't panic.

I have shortness of breath, and a cough, and this morning I opened Pandora's box by making a gp appointment. He wants me to go for a chest x ray at the hospital.
I have been putting off making an appointment because I didn't want to go to a hospital, but now I've had my first vaccination, I'm not too worried about going. I'm just so scared that I have lung cancer.
