Hospital checkup

kitchengardener2 profile image

Today I had my first face to face consultation since March. I have recently had a CT scan and in depth blood work so I have been incredibly anxious. So it was with some trepidation that we entered the consultant's room. It seems that my abdominal lymph nodes are slightly raised from two years ago but not enough to cause concern, my spleen was in good condition. There are still a few blood results to come back but the important ones show no concern, no mutation and noTP53 deletion. My white cells are slightly increased but not doubling within the year and my red cells have increased. Dr Munro wasn't able to get her printer to work so she couldn't give me a printout.

The outcome is NO TREATMENT YET, yet!! She would like to see me again in January. I feel so relieved.

I do feel so more relieved thank you. Whatever the future may bring, the knowledge that we have support of good friends both physically and our forum friends really helps. Hopefully the vaccine will be suitable for blood cancer patients. Do stay safe, so lovely to receive your post. God bless xx

Hello thank you, yes I feel me and mam are safe we kept away from park yesterday after the shock on Saturday mam is worried about the air, and with her age and heart, it's amazing how clever they are with medications and vaccines and it is so important you keep your mind calm and positive these thoughts really do effect our bodies, and negativity just causes so much stress on our minds and bodies. Take care 🌟😊xxx
