Hi all, 

I had was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma 19years ago. Thankfully made a full recovery. However, I am 14 weeks pregnant. I have been recently having night sweats, nosebleeds and extreme tiredness. I put this all down to the pregnancy symptoms. Bloods were recently done, as far as I know everything came back okay except for my LDH which was 309. I have received a phone from haematologist and they want to see me urgently, an appointment booked in for 5 days time. I can’t help but panic and think the worse, that I’ve cancer again. Has anyone experienced this? Am I overthinking? Is that high for LDH? 

  • A very warm welcome to the forum fi07 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us. This must be such a worrying time.

    We'll have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k, but if you'd like to discuss any of this with one of our cancer nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will be along soon to share their experiences and advice as well.

    We're thinking of you fi07 and wishing you all the best with your appointment and the rest of your pregnancy.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
