Hi there, I would certainly ring to see why this has been requested, definitely speak to your breast care nurse. Sometimes errors are made, maybe totally relevant to yr situation but seems a bit odd unless they are looking for something specific. If it is an error you don't want to waste  time, it needs corrected, however if it's appropriate your breast care nurse will confirm this.

Hi Gouldie,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

I am a breast care survivor of 13 years and have seldom heard of anyone needing a Ct of an elbow. As Kiera says, there may be a specific area that they want to see, but you are best to make sure.

Please phone your breast care nurse on Monday and ask if this is correct. You may have to leave a message on an answering machine in the first instance, but the nurses usually get back to you as quickly as possible. It would also be adviseable to tell her that you have heard nothing from the person who is supposed to be arranging the genetic testing.

I hope that you can get this sorted out soon. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Thank you ladies for your replies.

I managed to speak with the breast care nurse today and apparently I have two CT scans booked on the same day. The first is upper body and the second is the right elbow to check the lymph nodes on that side. It appears that my other letter has just not arrived yet. I feel a lot better for speaking with someone and getting this resolved. 

I imagine I'll be posting lots of questions as I go through this journey so I appreciate the advice and support.

Hi Gouldie,

I am so glad to hear that you managed to speak with your breast care nurse today and that she was able to clarify matters for you.

We are always here for any questions that pop up along your journey. I hope that all goes well with your CT scans and that you won't have too long to wait for the results. With any biopsy or scanit is always worth asking when you can expect to get the results, at the time that you have them. There's nothing worse than waiting without a timeline.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hi Gouldie just got yr friend request . How are things going? Ok I hope. 
Happy to chat anytime xxx

Hi all.

Thanks for the replies.

So the scans went OK and didn't show anything different to what I was told at my original diagnosis. I've met the Oncologist and have just started chemotherapy. Feeling so much better to have a plan in place now.

It's a long journey ahead but at least I can now see where it is going and an approximate time frame!

Thank you for your support. I'm sure I'll be back with further questions in time. Xx
