CT scan next week! :*(

Hi all,
I have been breathless lately (not everyday, it comes and goes) so was sent for a chest xray which my oncologist said was fine when I saw him 2 weeks ago. My iron level is 12.4. Any ideas what could be causing this breathlessness? Also, am suffering with fatigue- I am quite busy with my two boys but I only work 2 1/2 days per week and by the end of the day, I am struggling and consequently on weekends am napping quite frequently. I had a letter come through for a chest CT and liver CT contrast late last week. Any ideas why I might be getting a chest CT when the chest xray came back fine?
I am getting my nipple reconstruction tomorrow...am a bit nervous, if truth be told!
Thanks in advance for your knowledge,
Emma
