Tests for Myeloma - CT scan urgent referral

Hi all, first time posting and it's been a very strange few weeks! I initially saw my GP for unexplained weight loss, fevers/ night sweats and other symptoms. I did think it was down to my thyroid issue or possibly menopausal. After a number of blood tests, I've been told I have protein in my blood and they want to rule out myeloma, still awaiting a Bence Jones urine test for results. My ESR was quite high, along with a few other results that were slightly high. Now been referred for an urgent CT scan within 2 weeks. Not sure what to expect, I'm so anxious about it all, especially after Dr googling things!! 

  • Hi Moomee,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be difficult and I know the uncertainty and waiting for information is never easy.

    I hope you're able to get your appointment soon and that it's not too long to wait for any results to follow.

    Do try to avoid Googling things as it is rarely helpful and often only tends to increase worries.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Thanks Ben, I think it's the waiting more than anything, makes me more anxious not knowing what's going on I guess. I didn't even ask what the CT scan will be looking for!? I suppose I can ask when I have the appointment. Thanks
