My husband recently had an mri on his neck due pain at the base of his skull , they said the reason was a bulging disc but they said they were concerned about his enlarged lymph nodes in his neck so rang him and put him straight through for a chest X-ray, blood tests and booked him an urgent appointment for the ENT clinic. His chest X-ray is ok thank god but his bloods are showing his red blood cell count is low.he has an appointment next Wednesday at the ent clinic. Along side this my husband has been suffering with hair loss and has a few bald spots over his head about 50p size when this started happening a few month back we put it down to stress.A few week back he found a lump on the side of his knee cap which feels like a fatty deposit but has doubled in size since he first noticed it . My husband has also had no appetite and has lost quite a lot of weight in the past 6 month. He has also been very tired lately , we originally put this down to depression and stress as my husband has just recently lost both parents and is not coping well. We are hoping that it is just coincidental ailments that overall look as though it could be something worse but you can imagine how we are feeling right now .
has anyone been through this themselves ? We feel as though when we spoke to the doctor about my husbands blood results he wouldn't give us any information and even said we had to make another appointment for the bald spots and lump on knee as he didn't have the time , which you don't want to hear when you are worried sick . I was frustrated as I felt as though we were rushed out of the door still not knowing what to expect or why they are doing the tests.
