Worried sick!

Hi, 

I went for a blood test last week, my B12 is very high, I have also had a swollen lymph node for around 7 weeks. I'm waiting for a referral to get it checked out, they are worried it's some form of blood cancer, I'm worried sick as I'm only 22, but trying to stay strong for everyone around me! My other symptoms are constant infection (all other blood results were fine, so no infection this time) the lump is painful and growing, fatigue, body weakness, feeling sick/no appetite. Has anyone experienced anything similar.

    Hello, sorry to hear you're going through this. I really hope you get answers soon. 

    I am 29 and went for a blood test as I have a large ish lymph node in my neck above my collarbone. It came back with low white blood well count. I'm tired and have lost some weight but this could be down to other meds. Waiting for another blood test and then I guess a referral if it comes back low again. 

    Any idea when you will find out more? Fingers crossed for you that it's something minor. Hope you are doing OK and feel free to chat more if it helps!

    Hi Emma, 

    Thank you for your reply, hopefully your blood results come back fine, fingers crossed for you. I have been told I will have a referral to the cancer clinic in the next 2 weeks, and had a blood test yesterday so hopefully get results back for that soon. 

    Message me if you need a chat x

    Hi, 

    thanks for replying, I am been referred because the doctor is really concerned and that's scaring me more, it's just a waiting game which is horrible x
