Lung cancer

X-rays revealed a rather sizeable

Jitters over angiography
Hi all, I have been given a day case admission for an angiogram. I just read the booklet which came with the appointment letter and it's made me really nervous. I have severe emphesema and this exam is part of the application for a lung transplant. I have had CT scans, x- rays, LF tests, echocardiograms
