Cll

I'm worried after experiencing the symptoms for this condition I have had may tests for this but nothing is conclusive from urine blood tests and stool samples also I have had ct scanning and exrays of my chest and whilst I have a large bump on my sternum area which is sore and hard together with a burning sensation under the right shoulder blade.

I have also not been able to keep weight at a consistent level for months.

Please advise

Kind regards

  • Hi and thank you for your post. 

    I am sorry to learn that you are worried about your health.

    Cancer Research UK primarily funds research and clinical trials, so I'm afraid we cannot provide a medical opinion.

    We always encourage people to go back and discuss their symptoms with their GP, especially if they are persisting or getting worse. The doctor will then reassess and decide if you need to be referred to a specialist or have further investigation.  In most cases, the symptoms will be caused by something else other than cancer.

    If you feel unhappy with the care your GP is offering then you can request to see another GP in the practice for a second opinion. Maybe your GP can refer you to a dietician to discuss your weight fluctuations.

    We have more information on talking to your doctor if useful.

    I am sorry I cannot be more helpful. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Tina
