So scared

Hi

 

i too am worried I went to the doctors as I had a really high temperature chest pains and headache I went a&e sorry 

they took my bloods and my crap levels were 254 I was so frightened 

they said I had to have X-ray on chest he came back saying I have a cavity in right lung which could be tb as my son had it 4 years ago, also some other stuff I can't remember exactly what it was something shifter left with toxic granules?????

im worries out of my mind and I'm so scared 

they put me on antibiotics and my crp levels have come down to 101 however that I think is because I had a small infection at the bottom of my lungs 

they said on the paper work need to rule out tb or cancer 

but in the hospital cancer was not mentioned they gave me the impression it was a really bad infection I even asked them and doctor said no it's not canst it's infection as my inflammation markers were so high that means it's a infection 

I also saw a dr from the chest clinic and he too said it's a infection and it looks like old tb but on my chest X-ray from 4 years ago their was nothing their 

I'm just so scared don't know what to do 

  • Hi there ..

    I know your probly going through a tough time, not knowing much ... I'm not qualified at all , but I've read a little on T B lately as it looked like a relative may have it ..

    Years ago my nan died of T B... but that was in the 1920s ... 

    Things have come a long way now, and it is very treatable ... and getting more common once again here .. so yea it's not good, but treatable, so give your G P a call and ask them to explain things more clearly as your getting anxious with not understanding ...  Chrissie x
