Repeat blood test

Hi, my boyfriend had blood and bone cancer and has been in remission for approx 3 years.  He went for his bimonthly blood test today and then received a message for another blood test appointment in 25 days. No explanation just a blood test appt. Should we be worried that they have seen some abnormality? 
thank you 

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    Without being involved in your boyfriends care it is difficult for us to know why your boyfriend is having another blood test in 25 days. I am sure that if they were very concerned then they would be checking his blood sooner.

    If he has a haematology nurse it may be a good idea to give them a ring to try and get more of an understanding as to why this is happening.

    Try not to read in to it all until you know more.

    You are both more then welcome to ring and speak to one of the helpline nurses.

    Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine

  • Thank you so much for your response, he is trying to speak with his nurse today. I appreciate you replying to the post. 

    Thank you!
