UPDATE: Mom talked with her doctor. They think it is either pnuemonia or scar tissue. She has to go for another chest xray in 6 weeks. Good news!!
My mom was a smoker until she was in her 50's. She is currently diagnosed with COPD and a host of other health issues from smoking. She has been sick for a while and hasn't been able to shake it. Her chest xray yesterday showed something (mass/spot) on her lung. It could be an infection or it could be cancer. She is hoping to get the results today.
My dad died of lung cancer from smoking 6 years ago
I usually am pretty good about NOT worrying about my mother but for some reason this really has me worried. Any Ts and Ps would be appreciated.

Sending good thoughts to you, I hope it's nothing serious. I'm sure that's so hard to see your Mom smoking after your Dad died of lung cancer. My mom had/has breast cancer so I know the feeling of worrying abotu your parents when they get sick. Hang in there!

Thanks for all the Ts and Ps and hugs. Both of my parents actually quit smoking around 20 years ago. My dad fell off the wagon and smoked until he was diagnosed with cancer. My mom hasn't smoked a day since she orginally quit 20 years ago. I am very proud of her!
Her doctor actually told her that she was lucky that she quit when she did because she would probably be dead from lung cancer as well if she had continued smoking.
