I had a CT scan to confirm a nodule on my lung, but the result showed no nodule. However, I'm concerned about other findings, including heart size, aortic atherosclerosis, lung scarring, atelectasis, and a small thyroid nodule. I also have a persistent cough, exhaustion, seasonal asthma, and a history of tuberculosis and lung cancer in my family. Could these findings and symptoms be related, and what should I do next?

I'm a 67-year-old woman with a swollen and painful right leg below the knee, which has progressively worsened over the last six months. The pain feels like it's in the shin bone. I haven't used any medication and haven't seen a doctor yet, but I'm considering it. My family has a history of cancer, including my mother with colon cancer and my son who passed away from lung cancer three years ago. What could be causing this swelling and pain, and what should I do next?
