Hello MammaC
I'm sorry to hear that you're so concerned about your husband's health problems. It's good to hear that he's been to see his GP who is arranging some checks.
We know that waiting for tests and results can be a really worrying time for patients and their families. Try to take things a day at a time and not look too far ahead as it will just cause you to be more anxious.
If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses give them a call. They're available Monday to friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040.
Best wishes,
Jenn
