I am seriously panicking here.
My son used to be a terrific sleeper, but for the last couple of months has been waking mega early, so as a last resort I took him to the dr last Wednesday.
He couldn't see anything wrong but as a precaution send him for some bloods on Thursday.
I've had the results over the phone this morning when I rang, and the receptionist told me he needed another fbc in 3 months time.
On asking why, she said his lymphocytes were low. They are meant to be 352.11, his are 331. On asking what this meant she said she didn't know!
Anyway, about 2 hours later I had a call from the surgery from someone else, who said my sons blood results were in and one was fine but the other they wanted him back in 3 months. On challenging her why, she just said, one was slightly abnormal, nothing to worry about. Again I asked her what was the problem, and she wouldn't let on.
I assume that the receptionist shouldn't have really told me the full result perhaps?
Anyway, on looking this up online, one thing keeps coming back, leukaemia. I have been upset all afternoon and honestly don't think I can wait 3 months.
Our son is our world, and I really don't know what to do I am so worried.
Can any of you shed any light on what else this could mean?
Thanks, K x
