2 1/2 years ago a routine blood test showed that I have a high calcium level and so I've been having various tests and monitoring. All along I've been told that it's probably a small benign tumour on a gland in my neck and that at some stage they will remove it.
Two days ago I had another appt at the hospital and the doctor told me (without doing any new tests) that there is a chance that I have a condition that gives you tumours on lots of different glands on the body, that some become malignant and that if I have got it there's a 50% chance of each of my child also having the condition, but not to worry, in a few months they'll give me an operation that will tell them whether or not I have it.
I am absolutely beside myself. I can't sleep, I feel sick, I want to cry every time I look at my children and I just don't know how I am going to get through the next few months before I know without cracking up. Yesterday I had a really important interview and god only knows how I managed to get through it without bursting into tears.
I just feel so incredibly guilty that I could have passed this on to me children and terrified for myself and them
