Hello catwoman1

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns over the past month. It's good to know that you've already been to see your GP and that they have requested some blood tests after the initial treatment options haven't improved your symptoms. 

It's understandable that you're feeling anxious at the moment, particularly as you lost your Dad to cancer. We know that many people turn to the internet to try to find answers whilst they are going through a diagnostic process. Unfortunately what happens most often is that people are left feeling even more worried and still with no firm answers. Only the health professionals will be able to give you a clear diagnosis so for now, if you can, try to avoid googling for information. 

It can help to talk with someone whilst you're waiting for test results and answers. If you'd like to talk with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information, and support they can. 

I hope that you have some answers soon. Do let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
