Yea, I was glad to hear the good news, too. Can't help but get a little worried when the doctor gets a little worried.
I was fairly certain what they were seeing with the x-ray was pneumonia because when I finally started hacking junk up I pretty immediately started feeling better than I had in months. Turns out the doctors concern was that the diagnosis didn't match the symptoms I described.
Never hurts to investigate further if there's a question.
