  • Hello Sarahcb86 and thanks for your post,

    I can understand having a sick child can cause a lot of concern and I am sorry to hear about this.

    GP's have guidelines when children present with symptoms, particularly when they are young. As I am not involved in your daughter's care it is difficult to throw light on her situation. Doctors can tell quite a lot by a blood test, but if you continue to have concerns then do go back and talk it through with the doctor or another doctor in the practice.

    I am not sure how old your daughter is but there is some information on GP Care Group for children under 5.

    Cancer chat is not the place to diagnose anyone, as your daughter's symptoms are specific to her, but I hope that you can discuss your worries about cancer with your GP.

    I wish you both all the best.

    Catherine
