Worried son has leukaemia

hi my son has had a blood test today. He’s been having frequent nose bleeds and had one insistence of a Petetchia rash a couple of weeks ago. He had a full blood count done this morning but doctor said he’s not overly worried as he’s well in himself. Do you know how long we wait for results? I’m worried sick tbh I googled nose bleeds and petechia and leukaemia was one of the things that came up dr never mentioned this to me. Don’t think il sleep untill we get results

    Hi ya ...

    Googling symptoms always gives worse case sinarios... and then we get overwhelmed with fright .. esp when it's our babies ( any age) but please hold on .. wait till you get results ... then mention it to Dr.. but think he'd have sounded more worried .. 

    Fingers crossed .. sending you a vertual hug from one mum to another ... x

    hi thankyou for you reply. We had a text from the doctor to say he needs to see a doctor within a week and test we’re borderline for something but wouldn’t say what. He’s only six I’m so worried. X

    Hi there ..

    Can't believe a Dr just text .. how thoughtless .. he should hang his head in shame .. he obviously never had a child that was just 6 and left not knowing what it could be ...

    I'd give the surgery a ring and insist on talking to the Dr.. the one good thing is they've not called him strait in .. but you need to know ... borderline what???  ... it's not good enough to tell you half ...   please don't let them get away with a text ... I'd have been bashing their doors in .. ( I'm a taurian) 

    No wonder your frightened .. and the thing is it could be something minor , hopefully ... but stand your ground ... at least if you know everything, you know what your dealing with ... try to hang on ... 

    My heart goes out to you .. years ago my son had lots of symptoms and he was diagnosed diabetic .. once I knew I could learn how to cope with it ... l remember how scary that time is, waiting ... 

    Keep in touch ... would like to know how it all goes ... Chrissie xx
