  • Hi Krissy1234, 

    It's normal to worry after any blood test and I can imagine this time of waiting for results and answers is truly nerve-racking but the important thing is that you are now in good hands and that they are doing all the required tests. I hope that you get to talk to your doctor soon about this positive ANCA blood test and what it means. Hopefully it won't be long now until you get some definite answers and get a proper diagnosis. While you are waiting, I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that you get some clarity soon and it all turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
