Is it actually recessive

hello,

my mum has been wanting me to get bloods done on the safe side as blood cancer is common in our family. I’ve been having bruises appear on my waist and upper thighs the size of like an apple over the last few months from no injury, tired and she’s worried about my eyes being white inside?

is she being crazy or should I get checked, I don’t want the doctors to laugh at me so I don’t want to go.

  • Hello Chlo and thanks for your post,

    If you are having symptoms such as bruising and feeling tired it would be a good idea to get it checked out by your doctor. That is what your GP is there for.

    It is probably unlikely to be anything serious but in the first instant your GP may take a range of blood tests to see if you are anaemic particularly if you are feeling very tired. It is difficult for the nurses to give an opinion as we are not involved in your care. It can however be reassuring to talk to you GP about any concerns that you may have.

    The Patient's Association have written a guide on how to make the most of your GP appointment which you might find

    helpful to read.

    I hope this helps.

    Take care,

    Catherine
