  5. I'm concerned about my father's X-ray results. It mentions a few calcified foci in the bilateral upper lung zone, and his lungs are hyperinflated with a flattening of the diaphragm. There's also apical pleural thickening on both sides. Can you help me understand what this means? How serious is it? I'm really worried and just want to make sure we're not missing anything important.
