why these blood tests?

[Jampot]

i went to the doc a couple of weeks ago as i was feeling quite anxious etc. i have had a lump in my neck for a couple of months and an ultrasound shows it is a lymph node. doc now wants to have blood tests on liver, kidney, bone, thyroid function and thyroid antibodies as well as anaemia. i can understand the kidney and thyroid but the bone?

bone density and bone marrow production can be affected by hormone problems and kidney problems. I have bone tests done every year as I have thyroid problems, for me, they are just checking to keep an eye on what is going on. the liver test is standard really and if thyroid is suspected at all, liver is always done. I am not a doctor, I am a herbalist but the blood tests you mention are pretty regular for a possible lympth node/thyroid problem, please don't worry about it

excellent thanks misi
