6 week wait for CT Scan - scared that Cancer is back

Burkitts survivor - 6.5 years in remission. Now my upper right arm is swollen, as is right breast. Docs have ruled out DVT, no visible enlarged lymph nodes or lumps. Left arm is also started to get sore which is how it started with the right arm.  Haematology is sending me for a CT scan but theres a 6 week waiting list.  Mum had breast cancer so it runs in the familiy. I don't want to go through this again.

  • Hi SPC19,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sure this must be a difficult time and I can imagine the uncertainty must be tough to deal with.

    I hope that the appointment comes quickly and that it's not too long to wait to get the information you need.

    In the meantime try to take things a day at a time if you can. Keep busy where possible, and also we are always here for support on the forum whenever you may need it.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Thank you for your response. My appointment is in 7 days but due to the delays in getting results still can't see the doc until October. Just trying to take it one day at a time.
