While I sit here stressing myself out waiting for the results of my CT scan I’ve been thinking about chest x rays. I ended up in A&E last night again with chest pain. I seemed to be getting more fatigued and weaker everyday. Another chest x ray. I’ve had a good few now. I spoke to the doctor and the radiologists about my concerns and they talked me through why they could not see any issues at all with my lungs. I feel like I’m going crazy. Did anyone else here have x rays that were clear? Should it not show something? Or was an abnormal x ray the start of diagnosis for you? Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Gilly98. Sorry you’ve had a bad weekend, with a visit to A&E. Do you have a date yet for the results of your ct?  I can tell you of my situation, but of course everyone is different. I had no pain, but a bad cough, and it was very clear on my chest X-ray that it was cancer in both lungs. I hope you don’t have to wait much longer for the ct results, and that you have the pain under control now.

    Thank you for replying. I’m just waiting for my consultant to contact me. They said it could take a week but I’m hoping it will be sooner. I’m so exhausted, not sleeping and I feel like my voice is getting hoarse. Trying to keep going for the sake of the family but just want to lay down as soon as I get in from work.Not that I can sleep for any length of time. Pain has eased off a little, it’s more the fatigue. Hope you’re doing ok x
