i think that CCF stands for congestive cardiac failure. I guess that when they do the xray they will look for certain things such as fluid around the lungs, whether your heart looks enlarged, whether the blood vessels are blocked and probably lots of other things.
?I know it's hard waiting for appointments. I'm in a similar position however with a different condition but try and distract yourself as much as possible.

After a while I found out this on the internet and have been reading about it. Will not know anymore until the blood results and seeing my GP.
All the best to you and wish you well

I'm glad you found some more information online.
?Personally, I find research to be quite calming as I feel like I have a better idea of what the doctors are thinking etc.
?I hope that your blood results come back okay and that the GP is able to support you enough.
?Take care
