Hi there,

I was suffering from calf pain in February. My GP took my bloods and they found signs of clotting,also slightly elevated white blood cell count. It turns out i had 2 DVT’s in my leg. My GP wanted to see me again 3 weeks later and took another FBC. This again  has shown elevated white blood cell count. He told me to make an appointment for 4 weeks time and said that he was going to check my stomach. He asked if i had been unwell recently, any infections etc. I have been perfectly well apart from DVT pain.

I’ve convinced myself that it’s leukaemia of some sort. There are 4 small blood spots on my stomach and i keep getting a re-occuring skin infection.

I have 2 more weeks to wait and I feel sick with worry. Its really not looking good is it.  I'm a single parent too.
