Worried sick

Hi all. I'm a mum to a beautiful 18 year old. My worries are about her, she over the past 6 months has been poorly, fatigue, sore throat, ulcers weekly, bleeding gums last week, she went to her doctor ( she is at Uni) and was told she is a student and run down. Was quite rude to her. fast forward last week...... a different doctor was quite concerned especially as she found a lump on her glands and a rash, said to get blood test but these are for 3 weeks!!!!! We are very concerned. Surely if doctor was concerned bloods woudk be ASAP. 
Any advice would be gratful

  • Welcome to the forum Bucko although I'm very sorry to hear your daughter has been rather unwell over the last 6 months.

    I'm glad the second doctor took your daughter's symptoms more seriously although it must be very frustrating that she has to wait 3 weeks for a blood test. Hopefully some of our members will share their thoughts and advice with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this with one of our nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k Bucko31.

    Best wishes to you both,
