Worried after blood results

Hello, I'm new here!

Due to my symptoms, I've lost weight and I have really itchy skin. I have drenching night sweats where I have to dry myself with a towel and change my sheets during the night. 

I've had about 14 different blood tests to test for things like coeliac disease, liver function, kidney functions, hiv and hepatitis and they all came back normal.

the abnormal tests were my folate levels were low, my white blood cell count was high and eosinophil levels were high.

The haematologist also found lumps in my neck and I have a ultrasound guided biopsy on the 31st Oct. 
 

I am so so terrified I will be diagnosed with lymphoma or leukaemia as I've read that they can cause low folate levels and high eosinophil levels, 

Any advice? Or anyone going/been through the same? 

  • Hi,

    I'm currently on the 2 week wait to haematology for lumps in my neck and low grade fever. My bloods are all fine too apart from iron deficient like you.

    It feels like it's taking forever to get my appointment so I know how you feel. Big hug. How long have you had symptoms?

     

  • Hey,

    my iron levels were normal, my results were low folate so I've been prescribed folic acid and my eosinophil levels were high and I guess I've scared myself on google,

    I've had symptoms for over a year now, weight loss more recent in the last two months or so, and the lumps I didn't even know I had until the doctors found them so I don't know how long they've been there.

    i feel you, the two week referral time is horrendous and I didn't really get many answers from my first appointment, but in 3 weeks I'll have my biopsy and hopefully know what is causing all this.

    i wish you the best of luck, I know it's the scariest time waiting for appointments and results,

    Did the doctors tell you they think it's anything yet?
