  • Hello Missselfridge

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious about the reason for the symptoms that you've been experiencing. 

    It sounds positive that so far the blood tests and ultrasound that you've had haven't given any immediate cause for concern and it's good to know that your GP is arranging more tests and a biopsy. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for these appointments and the results will bring some reassurance. 

    I know that many of our members here will understand how difficult this period of uncertainty can be. It's natural to consider all possibilities but try to remain positive. Avoiding looking online for information can help as often searching the internet for answers only leads to feeling more worried. 

    If you want to talk with one of our nurses then they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope things settle and improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
