My lung doctor is running me through the CT scanner every 6 months and I really don't like it in light of the fact I also just had stage 0 breast cancer. Would an MRI give him the info he needs. My lungs are clear except for a patch of what they hope is scar tissue from rads in 1997. I'm suffering from shortness of breath and it isn't heart related so he is trying to figure that out. What do you think?
Thanks,
Eileen
