I'm 19 and am waiting for my results. I went into hospital on Sunday with intense abdominal pain for what turned out to be kidney stones, but I was also hit with bad news when they found that the haemoglobin in my blood was too high. The doctors sat me down for around an hour and explained that they think it might be PV blood cancer. I've had the blood tests redone to double check and further genetic and hormone tests to know for certain whether it is PV, but I'm full of anxiety. I didn't process it when I was told because of the morphine, but now I feel like a ticking time bomb. What am I going to do if I have an incurable cancer at 19? You never think it'll happen to you. I just want to know what I can do to keep myself going while I wait two or three weeks for the results to come back. Any advice or other people's experiences would be good. I just hate sitting here and feeling helpless.
