Hi  I hope someone can help me in what to do or say to my doctor I'm so confused 

I have metastatic breast cancer n due to start my chemotherapy next week (new cancer in supracavicular area left arm)

On Friday morning i woke up unable to move my left arm  I called my breast nurse n was avised  to go 2 A&E  I was admitted  4 them to  observe  me I had a xray done n was told it was clear no broken  bones n they discharged  me today (sunday)  doctors told me they want a MRI scan done on Wednesday to look at my nerves    on my discharge letter it states  suspected    needs investigation for brachial plexus n peripheral  nerve injury dose anyone know if this is connected to the cancer or another issue added on  I'm worried sick 

Thank u 

Kym xx

    Hi Kym

    Welcome to the online community and I am so sorry to see you join "this club" as we know that no one ever wants to join but I'm glad you've found you could reach to us and ask your question, which unfortunately I am unable to give you an answer

    However I would invite you to repost your question to our Ask a Nurse group page and one of the nurses will get back to you with advice probably within 2 working days if you need to speak to one of the nurses directly they can be contacted on 

    0808 808 0000 

    every day between 8 am and 8 pm

    This is easy for me say but please try not to worry, hang on until you get some medical advice.
