I went to see my GP in November as I had been struggling since losing my sister in October to a very short battle with lung cancer. I told my doctor I was worried about myself as I lost my mum to ovarian cancer when I was 30, any way my GP ordered full blood to be done and this came back with me being anaemic but she said It was so low I'd require another blood test to be done along with a stool sample and urine sample, I went for another set of full blood the following week and these came back the same so she put me on iron tablets (200mg) to be taken 3 times per day, I felt overwhelmed with the situation and I didn't put in any samples she asked for nor did I turn up for 2 appointments with my GP before Christmas, the receptionist phoned me and I explained my worries and saw my GP last week who took more blood, felt my stomach, checked my blood pressure, checked my lungs and oxygen and told me all that seemed fine but now she's booked me in to have an ultrasound and I'm terrified to the point I don't think I want to go, I've not received my appointment as of yet and she didn't say if it was an urgent referral, the GP receptionist phoned me Friday 13th Jan to say there's another subscription for more iron tablets and like I said I'm petrified and don't know what to do. Any words of advice would be much appreciated.
