Hi I wanting to know and hoping someone here can help me,

I had a low dose ct scan done as a precaution for cancer, it came back and said mild empasima. my doctor said probably nothing quit smoking and dont worry about. I have read that low dose can give false negatives is this true and what do you feel i should do

Sorry, I can't advise on this. You need to go back to your doctor with any queries.

Use the CT scan as the incentive to stop smoking.

If there was any doubt about the results then you would have been sent for more Scans etc so for now be happy it is good news

Just stop smoking, you are very lucky indeed to have been diagnosed very early. Many aren't until it's to late to make changes.

Life is long, make it of the best quality you possibly can while you still have choices.
