Hi I had some routine blood tests done at my GP this morning I was told to expect results on Friday (it's Tuesday). At 5pm I had a call from an unknown number. my GP said my results were abnormal and would refer me to a Haematologist. The Haematologist called me about the results and told me to come in ASAP.

They think I have blood cancer and have started me off on Hydrocycarbamide and antibiotics.

This is a real shock I thought I might have anaemia as I have been really fatigued for the past month with no strength in my arms or legs.

Could really use a handhold tobet me thorough the night. Hopefully a diagnosis tomorrow but specialist looked really concerned...

So you went for bloods this morning and by teatime you’re on cancer treatment?
That’s a lot to process

I cannot even begin to imagine what you are feeling. Are you in hospital tonight?

What a shock, OP. Understand you’re really scared but you’re in the system now and in the hands of the specialists who WILL look after you. Here’s a hand-hold x
