Well, I got my mammogram results and everything seemed fine there. I was waiting for a call that said my chest x-ray showed something ominous but the call never came and it's going on the 2nd week since I had it done so I'm assuming everything is ok with that. You'd think I'd feel elated but I'm not. I still have lung soreness and a wheeze in my right lung(no cough) and my right arm is still causing me pain and neurological symptoms. I now have myself convinced that I have cancer in my bronchial tubes and is undetected and the cancer has spread to my arm. I was a heavy smoker for years so the risk is there. I had a CT scan of my lungs done last winter that was clear. Would that show if anything was growing in the bronchial tubes? I have myself in a state of constant panic over this. I can't get it out of my mind and nothing seems to be able to distract me. I even try deep breathing and it doesn't relax me. I can't get into see an orthopedist for months and months and I'm terrified of asking my doctor for the bronchioscope (spelling). How do I calm my fears? What do I do?
