      Apart from the blood test, what other tests or scans have you had?

      What have the doctors told you they are testing for? What is making you concerned? Are they planning on giving you any more scans?

      I know it is easy for me to say, but try not to worry until you know there is something to worry about. You will probably need further tests as you do have some higher than average results but it doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer. Try and do lots of things to distract yourself until you get more information from the doctor. If you are feeling too unwell to go out, watch some comedies, play some computer games, listen to some uplifting music, chat to a good friend or family member but don't obsess over the results.

      I wish you good luck and good health and hope you feel better soon. 😃

      Thank you so much Moon. I guess i worry aot as i lost my Dad and Nan to cancer. But like you said today I am keeping busy. Owning a Siberian Husky and cleaning up after him and summer shedding. So i push against the fatigue and chest and stay as active as possible. Xx

    Hi Andrea, I was wondering how everything was going. Did you find out what was wrong?

      Hello moon. I've seen my gp and his said those bloods are normal. I've just finished another course of ciprofloxacin for pseudomonas. So I'm still none the wiser.

      Are you still having tummy problems? Because antibiotics can really upset your stomach. When I get stomach pain and bloating I take alverine it can really help. If you are still getting an upset tummy it may not be a bad idea to ask your doctor for some.

      Hi Wendy with mine they put it down to infection. Still sadly I'm none the wiser. Let me know please how you get on at the haematology. Stay busy if possible like i did and it helps with the worry.
