Urgent question about lung scarring

HI, My mum is 58 years old this August and she just got her lung x-ray done. While the report says everything is fine, there is just one query.. it says "Right midzone scarring is seen". I am no pro at interpreting x-rays but from what i can make out, the scarring is about an inch or so. She travels tomorrow so doesn't have a chance to go to the doctor right away. When she was pregnant about 30 years ago she did have a slight case of tuberculosis.
I would like to know how seriously should she take this scarring or is it normal given the fact that she had tuberculosis those many years ago?
