Diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time. Currently waiting for result of CT scan.

I'm going through breast cancer for a second time. I have it again over 20 years later.  I had it in my fifties and have it again in my seventies. 

I recently had a CT scan actually it was nearly a month ago. Is it usual to wait this long for a results of a scan? It's making me very anxious. Maybe it's a good sign as there doesn't seem to be any urgency?

  • I was dx with g4ade 1 ductal carcinoma in Jan 2008 (16 1/2 years ago). I was 40. 

     Surgery (WLE) and rads followed by 10 years of tamoxifen.  Had recon - including implants 10 years ago. 

    Had a check up for implants and they ordered an ultrasound and during that they found a lump.  Had a biopsy - I was sure it would be fatty tissue (Had that previously), however biopsy results confirmed 17mm grade 2 breast tumour.  

    I'm getting a CT scan on Friday (19/7) and go back to the breast clinic on 08/08.  

    I think timescales vary depending your your location
