I hope you gain some confidence from your medical team. The feeling of panic does subside but it’s very important to use these forums to tell us things that you might not want to tell your family. I never wanted to worry them. I found comfort in talking to complete strangers. The hospitals are so much better now. They have so many tools in their toolbox to help us. There can also be more innocent explanations even with those blood test results. I hope it is all good news for you xx

Thanks for replying. I’m in panic mode right now! Feel so ill suddenly, think I’m just shocked. I’ll calm down this evening. And make a plan.

Maybe get a nice cup of tea or something and hunker down on the sofa with a blanket and a hot water bottle? That's what I'm doing this evening to try and just find a bit of comfort.

I find comfort in tea and chocolate. Putting something funny on the telly. Getting engrossed in something. Funnily enough I never found ironing helpful. Which is a great convenience. 

it’s when we are busy focussing on something that’s totally absorbing that we can forget about it all for a little bit.
