Driving myself mad, haematology results tomorrow.

I think i am just after support these last 6 weeks waiting for results ends tomorrow and if i am honest i just want to cry. 

Im under investigation for lymphoma have loads of symptoms and found a lump a few days ago that i will tell them about tomorrow. I feel soooo anxious and stressed right now.

Work has been a good distraction until today where i dnt know if im just being sensative or the customers are being horrible.

  • Yeah i supppse though they said it could be raised due to infection, inflammation or cancer initally but yeah its just frustrating that some of my bloods are raised but they don't really know whats causing it. A majority of things show up in bloods and as yours are all clear hopefully its a good thing i have heard of people having fevers with an unknown cause over the last 9 years of nurse training and being qualified and usually they go away on there own which i hope is the case for you as you have recently had an infection and it can take a while for your body to settle down afterwards x

  • I hope so too. I hate when it goes away for a day or two then comes back. I get my hopes up then I'm an anxious mess again. Thanks for being there for me, its hard when others dont understand and are probably sick of listening to me too! 

  • No worries. 

    I was going mad when i was under haematology and i thought i was getting all different symptoms like my throat feeling swollen and my abdomen being really hard and lumpy and these eased off after the haematology lady said their was nothing she could see. Lets both hope for good news :) 

  • Hi sammyg, how are things going for you now? Did your symptoms end up easing or are you still having problems? I went 11 nights with no fever or chills then last night it came back. I had awful chills and shivered all night :( I also have a tender swollen node under my jaw. This has been going on since the start of July and I'm still waiting to see the heamotogist. Its driving me mad! I hope things are going better for you x

  • Hi, 

    If i am honest i've gotten nowhere but been in A&E with half my face and body not workinng great but this maybe be to do with my migraines. And i was admitted about 3 weeks back for 3 days with abdominal which they initally thought was appendix related but after 24 hrs of antibiotics it settled. Then they said that they didnt think it was my appendix but mu inflmmation markers are going up. One of them tracked up from 11 in feburary, to 24 when i got admitted to hospital 3 weeks ago and after antibiotics it went up to 49, i suppose at least they believe me at this point as the bloods are still weird and getting worse but they can't pin point the source of infection/inflmmation at this point so i am waiting to an MRI scan of my abdomen which is in about 2/3 weeks so hopefully some answers will he had after then. 

    Hopefully you see the haematologist soon !!
