Seeing endo unexpectedly and have private blood test on the way!!!
So I need to know if I can tell from my pre-2018
blood
tests
(and the new one if I get it) where my T3 and T4 should be in relation to each other and TSH? Is there a chart of some type to show this?

Hyper/hyper thyroidism?
Following recent scan of saliva glands, which were normal, my thyroid was noted as being “dark”? As I had a partial thyroidectomy 40 years ago and do not take any thyroid supplementary tablets, any clues as to what may be going on. Symptoms, normally attributed to my age, are extreme tiredness

PMR... back on 20mg
Thanks everyone for replies and suggestions after my post last Monday. Saw my GP on Tuesday, we discussed the pain, stiffness and fatigue I was experiencing since tapering off prednisone late last year. She agreed I should start at 20mg day, after bloods for Crp and ESR. The results: Crp 3 and ESR

Lowered CA125 and a nugget of hope 🙏
After 2 chemo sessions of carbo & taxol plus Avastin, my blood test level has reduced from 750 to 586 which is the first positive news I have received since diagnosis mid December 👏 it has given me a huge boost! My CT scan is Tuesday 20 Feb to see if my huge mass has shrunk enough for surgery, if so

watch and wait.
Hi all, I haven’t posted in a while. I am after some thoughts on results really.. I am based in the UK. Diagnosed in Oct 2022 after a chance blood test for something else. A familiar story from what I have read. A specialist at the time said I was a bit early for the disease! I’m now nearly 50. I

Breathlessness and headaches
I had a
blood
transfusion on the 3/4/23 and
blood
tests
on 5/4/23 were at normal levels. However the symptoms described above have not gone away. I contacted my CNS who directed me to the Chemo helpline and as a result I had another round of comprehensive
blood
tests
on 17/4/23.

Hi. I'm considering getting a Beta 2 Microglobulin blood test done. I have CLL and on W&W. Has anyone else had this done?

Running out of time...advice welcome
Hi all - I just turned 44 last week and have had a negative result (after 2WW) this morning. I started my solo journey in 2019 and was told to go find a sperm donor/straws in Feb 2020...and COVID really mucked that up. I finally managed 2xICI in 2022 - one chemical, the other resulted in nothing. I started

If I was to list my blood test results on here would people give their opinion on what they think it all means collectively?

Imbalance Issues from CLL treatment?
Hello, I live in Minnesota and was diagnosed with CLL in Oct 2022 and my oncologist at the Masonic Cancer Center put me on the O and V treatment which started in Dec 2022. I finished the O in May 2023 and the V in Dec 2023. Latest blood test has all my counts in the normal range except Abs Lymphocytes

Iron levels
HiI'm 12 weeks pregnant and expecting twins. The midwife asked me a number of questions and said I was high risk for low iron so said I had to start taking iron tablets daily (322mg). However, I just got blood test results back and my iron levels were fine. I asked if I still had to take them and she
