Breast cancer weird blood results

Beats29

Feeling a bit overwhelmed 

pre surgery bloods lymphocytes were below normal range , tried  to raise this with consultant who completely dismissed it. Had surgery , then did bone density , diagnosed with borderline osteoporosis. Had bloods again , now neutropiles are also below normal limits & platlets have fallen to 180 . Results have been flagged but no one is talking to me, all I have is a rheumatology follow up phone call in January .I feel very let down by MacMilan nurses , I don't have a named nurse ,only contact has been purely transactional , buy this surgery  support bra , do these  excercises.

im not on any medication , although about to start Letrozole . Any thoughts on weird bloods & what I should do ?thanks in advance

    Hi Beats,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear that nobody has discussed these findings with you. If you are not getting anywhere with the hospital, why don't you go and have a chat with your GP? S/he should have received reports on all that has been done and the results and should be able to help you out. They should also be able to tell you if there is anything you can do about your weird bloods.

    Next time you visit the hospital go armed with a list of questions. I find that my care team tell me more when I ask direct questions. Also ask why you haven't been allocated a specialist nurse, as I thought that this was routine.

    Please stay in touch. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
