While I felt unwell before diagnosis, I had no idea of the nature of my illness. I did immediately after diagnosis.

I had no idea what i was suffering from, the various complaints of shingles, lumps on the neck, chronic fatigue and night sweats. I thought it was all shinges related until the blood results flagged up leukaemia.

Before diagnosis I had no idea what was wrong. Neither did my GP more importantly !

My diagnosis came out of the blue. I have an annual health check at my GP's and it showed up then. Total shock. Had been feeling off for months but put it down to age. (72) thinking back it all falls into place with the symptoms I had.
