Hi Nat calm down love. There could be lots of reasons why this is but the least common one is cancer. Few cancers are genetically based so it's very unlikely you have this especially at your young age. Remember too that you are not your mum and treatments have moved on now.
If it is the worst news then they will have found it early enough to cure. When are you seeing your doctor? Make a list of questions to ask and try and stay positive. We are all here for you. x
Hi bev i got myself in a right spin there didnt i ...just been drs and the drs say to them they see my bloods as a normal reading and they are only slightly raised and come back as abnormal because they were raised thats all gotta have a blood test again in 3 months see how i am they have reduced my venlafaxine to see if thats why its happening
Yep you sure did Nat but I can understand why you would be so worried as I think we all would be. I am not going to say I told you so so I am not I bet that's a real relief and many thanks for letting me know. xx

Sorry you're feeling soo much stress and anxiety over this 💞🌸maybe others will have some other great advice on this subject but I'll say take some deep breaths try to relax & get your mind off this for awhile if you can find something that usually has helped you relax before soothing relaxing music or fun nostalgic videos on things from childhood or something funny to make you laugh!! Laughter can be soo healing we all need more laughter & great humor in life!! I know a few friends that have had blood test results like this or similar & they ended up were fine! So maybe you could also just focus on your healthy diet!! there are lots of things you can find on cancer fighting foods & diets as well I personally think everybody should try eating these ways anyway whether they have cancers or not just cause I've learned we all get strong potentials for cancers growths and tumors but our bodies immune systems kills them off without us even knowing so we should just help our immune systems out as it is give them a boost- I've learned cancer loves sugar -so I'd avoid it!!! Anyway there's lots more positive ideas on this but maybe I'm goin on too long!! Anyway peace to you &sending care and prayers for you as well☺️💞🌻
Thank you so much for your advice my dr says my results are a normal reading to them but blood results have to say abnormal because they slightly raised
So i seem to be ok at the minute

Hi Nat,
I understand how you are feeling. We all worry when test results cause concern. Please try not to let your anxiety take over more than it has already. First it's the fear and then there's what if, right? Please breathe, exercise or do something to distract yourself. Hopefully, the doctors can tell you more very soon. Please provide an update. We do care about you.
That put a lump in my throat in a nice way though when you said that you care about me i dont hear that very often thanks for that...ive been drs this morning she said shes not concerned about my bloods because they look normal to her..apparently phlebotomy labs have to say its abnormal because its slightly raised but what the blood lab say the drs class as normal so shes dropped my venlafaxine to see if that helps instead of 300mg im on 225mg see if that lowers it
I know ot was quick wasnt it i think thats what made me nervous cuz they came back so quick but my dr said my bloods to her are acceptable as normal so im going to try and carry on eating healthy and me and my dr both discussed dropping my anti depressants mg she said im on way too much of a higher dose so got another in 3 months see if its dropped
Yes, I really do care about you and everyone here. We support each other and that is so very different from what I have experienced in life.
When I was a kid, I told my Mother I love her. I got a blank stare lol. She never used that word prior to that day. We never really got along, but I guess I knew she was doing that best she could. She struggled as a single parent and she struggled with extreme emotions. I think it had a lot to do with her home environment when she was a kid.
I had a very awful abusive childhood by the hands of my father me and my lovely mum were a punching bag for him i havent had a lot of love only by my mum and now my own little family but i like to help and be there for anyone who needs and wants it we have eachother on here to support
I'm glad to hear that your blood results have not caused your Doctor to worry. I bet the news must have come as huge relief.
I agree with both Delta1 and yourself, we do care about each other. The best part of being a member of this site is that we can be honest without worrying about being misunderstood. It also gives us the chance to share our experiences and this will quite naturally lead us to be concerned about each other when we're not doing well and also be happy for each other when things are good.
I also had problems with my father. He didnt have much time for me and my siblings when I was young and what happened the one evening he physically abused me still haunts me almost 29 years later.
I must admit i was worried when i got the phonecall at 8:30am to say i need to see a dr as my bkoods are abnormal i was scared out my witts then when i got there the dr said shes not worried with them being under 500 but the blood test centre has to send it back abnormal...so was relieved ...my so callled father almost killed me my first event i remember i was at least 2 or 3 years old and he kicked me at siide of my head with his boots on (steels) and every event got more and more traumatic so thats why im so messed up and with losing my mum 11vyears ago my entire world just shattered into a million pieces So everything medical after my mum i completley worry and get so nervous incase i have cancer like my mum im a right mess really anyway sorry for going on hahaha take care
