Leukemia

Hi, I'm 23 years old and I'm currently under investigation for Leukemia, I haven't been to work recently as I'm to unwell frequent nosebleeds and sickness at work and have absolutely no energy but I have to wait for my referrals and covid is slowing that process down. Everyday there are more physical symptoms for example, bruising, weight loss, it's really getting me down and I wondered what you all do to take your mind off this, I keep having nightmares and wake up sweating every night. It's awful, any advice would be appreciated. 

  • Welcome to the forum MLouise although I'm sorry about the tough time you're having waiting for your referrals.

    Our members know how difficult this can be so I'm sure some of them will offer their thoughts and advice but if you can, try and find ways to relax and distract yourself with pleasant pursuits as it will help take your mind off this for a little while.

    Fingers crossed things start to speed up for you soon.

    Kind regards,
