I'm a 23-year-old and have been dealing with a cough and haemoptysis for the last six years. They found a cavity in the right upper lobe of my lung, and the doctor said it's not repairable and recommended I see a specialist in CTVS. Could you help me understand what this means and what I should expect? I'm feeling quite worried about the situation.
