So about 3 or 4 weeks ago I went to the hospital emergency room because of excrutiating pain in my left leg. This is due to some back and neck injuries that I've had for 7 years, so nothing terribly odd. When I was there they took some X-rays of my upper and lower back... and now I got a call from the docs office saying I needed to come in to discuss the results. They only contact you on possitive results, and I've had MANY X-rays of my back and neck over the past few years, and they've always shown nothing of interest.

If there's some kind of possitive to discuss now, it seems highly unlikely that it's my back; which can only mean one other thing, as far as I know - that they found lung cancer. I have been smoking tobacco every day for the past year, and sporatically for about 4 or 5 years. Lung cancer is the only thing I can think of that would show up on an X-ray besides a back problem, and nothing about my back's condition has changed.

But, when I went into the office, they couldn't find my bloody X-ray anywhere! They said they'll call if it turns up, but they really seemed at a loss. My regular doc, who had them call me for the visit, isn't in 'till 10 days from now, and I can't wait that long.

So anywhoo, I'm bloody panic-stricken and worried all to hell right now. What do you guys think?
