Try not to let those thoughts get out of hand. (I know that is hard)
The xray could possibly be anything. They are going to look with more sensitive equipment to see what is or is not there. At this moment you could worry yourself that it is cancer, or you could rejoice that it is some harmless scar tissue. Right now you don't know, we don't know and your Dr. doesn't know. So you should neither worry nor rejoice, waiting is all you can do. I don't have any better suggestion to help get you and your family through this than HUGS.
I do know that worring about the unknown accomplishes absolutely NOTHING. Perhaps others here can offer other suggestions.
Take care, God bless, and find peace.
