worried

hi
  i had pneumonia about 9 mths ago, i was told i had copd, i have had about six xrays in those 9 mths,
the last one was about 3 weeks ago, the lung doctor said he wanted another xray to compair with the previouse one which was about three mnths ago, he has now sent me an appointment for a cat scan as he say's there is some shadow on bottom of right lung, he has ordered a thorax + abdoman scan, does this mean i have cancer i am worried about why the abdoman scan as well
                                                thank you
