Bonny, i wonder why your chiropracter is taking x-rays. Is he/she licenced to do that? I'm not an orthopaedic surgeon to be able to comment on bone radiographs. I think that having a suggestion of "cancer" should prompt an urgent consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon 'cos it's a matter of life and death. Isn't there a government medical system where you live that provides free medical care? Heather, no problem.

There could be a lot of other causes of opacities (white areas) in chest x-rays. One needs to tie the findings in with the patients' clinical problem. Heather, no they do not always mean cancer.

Just today I had questions about x-rays and some of them were answered. I do have a question if someone is kind enough to answer me. When an x-ray of the lungs show a whiter area where it shouldn't be, does it always mean cancer? Thank you for your blog. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial.

You can't get a 2nd opinion based on X-ray alone. In any case, Communication come 1st. It takes hours, if not days, sometimes, to get the the problem. X-ray is merely a tool to confirm, or disapprove what is Already forming in the mind. ECL, do listen to Bernard.
