Hello 

I will be 58 in April, married and no children. Not sure what else to say?

I have just been diagnosed with thick blood, don't know yet what this means for me!

My dad died with Myeloma, my mum died from cancer of the uterus and my brother died with cancer of the oesophagus.

So a bit scared about it all.

    Hi Robin,

    I can understand your worries, given your family history. I am not a doctor, but I know that there is medication that can thin your blood, so here's hoping that once this has all been investigated you will soon be back on track.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

  • Just an update, got my appointment for my scan, end of March!

    At least it's at my local hospital so not far away.  Don't know if the doctor will postpone the consultation on the 25th February with the scan not being for another month? But will wait and see.

    Hi Robin,

    Here's hoping that your doctor will still speak with you on 25th and, that you get more answers. Don't forget to draw up that list before then. Please keep in touch and let us know what transpires.

    We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
