I had a Lung CT Scan June 2017 where they found emphysema. I don’t know if they are supposed to repeat it. I smoked cigarettes from age 17 for 35 years, a pack and a half a day.

Re-checking to see if there are any changes is probably a good idea. Call your doctor to ask about the screening and also to make sure it’s covered by your insurance.

Medicare covered it the last time. I’m going to call them and see if they will pay for it again.

The Medicare website says they will pay for one screening a year for up to 15 years after you quit or your 77 years old.

Getting checked isn’t a bad thing. It’ll be good to know how you’re doing

Better to have lungs checked than one’s prostate.
Hope you get the all clear!
