Hi JDHDerbyshire thanks for posting, hopefully now after all this time you will get some answers, Of course it could be many things behind these symptoms we hope you are not in the right group but you find out what is wrong and it can be resolved easily. Many of us can remember the anxiety and illness that the diagnosis process brings. This made me fill ill too,

When are you expecting the results?

keep us posted,

Nick

Sorry that you are in this situation and I know this must be a worrying time. Hopefully your tests will produce an answer soon. Only the tests and your haematologist can give you the medical answers you want. Best wishes

Hi, welcome to our site, it sounds as if you are in the right place.

We cannot give medical advice here as we are all unique, with different medical histories and sometimes tests and treatments.

We do seem to me to share similar fears, thoughts and feelings and fatigue and infections are common side effects that we have to learn to manage

For support and advice the Leukaemia Care Charity is there for you:

Email: [e-mail]

Freephone helpline: 08088 010 444

Opening times: Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5.30pm & Thursday and Friday evenings 7:00pm - 10:00pm Take care.

JDHDerbyshire,

The results from the BNB and CT will provide the answers you are looking for.

Please do whatever you can to replace the anxious thoughts.
