This must have been marked abnormal by your GP. What has he said? Have you discussed it with him?

Go back to your GP and ask. If he tries to fob you off (he/she may not know) and I am sure you will know if this happens, then ask for a Consultant. I get very cross when we are not told what results mean. I remember clearly sitting next to a woman in a clinic, and she was shaking. I started chatting to her, and she was terrified she had cancer, when all it really was was a trapped nerve. I could see the total relief on her face and it has stuck with me that how unthoughtlessly cruel some of the medical profession can be. Hug.
