    Chest Xray

    I went for a chest x-ray yesterday as I have been waking up breathless and extremely tight chested in the day, and I'm terrified that they will find a tumour or lung cancer or something :(.

    I wouldn't have thought so but when do you get the results?

    I suspect that they would not have just let you go if they had an inkling anything like that was wrong.

    After the X-ray is done they beetle off to process and check it, and although they do need to wait for the chief radiologist to look at it and report on it, they are quite experienced themselves at noting anything not right when checking it. (They have to check it to make sure they have the right viewpoint requested by the doc)

    They are (I suspect) looking to see if you have an infection that may be causing your symptoms.

    Hope u feel better soon.xxx

    Well they said I will get the results in 7 days, but they will contact me sooner if it's something drastic wrong. I'm terrified.

    Re: Chest Xray

    I've suffered from the chest tightness before, and I know it is scary. I am sorry you are dealing with that. I've had a few chest x-rays, all normal. My husband's aunt is a radiology technician. She told a story of a patient who had a headt CT scan and they very sadly found tumors. I remember her saying that the radiologists came in to talk to him and his family right there and then --- they didn't send him home to wait for results. So perhaps this is the usual course of action when something is wrong. They don't let you go home and wait for days or weeks on results.
