wish they'd read the blood tests properly before sending me on my way

Less than one minute read time.

got to ring docs - after sailing through my 3 month check on Tuesday, the letter to my gp arrived on saturday morning. It mentions normal bloods except for elevated alp of 143 and that they are waiting for an LDH test result. No mention on the day, the sw*ne. Was a new doc, so maybe he didn't realise til later but i've been gently stewing all weekend (because there's no-one to ring) and getting my head back in 'sensible cancer' mode. I know it's maybe to do with liver/bones - think my head's gonna explode if I don't tell someone haha x

  • I don't know the technicalities but would imagine if it was something nasty they would have mentioned it at your check-up. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a good result.

    thanks kate - he looked like he was still learniing the system that's all (and I know what it can be like when you're on supply, lol). My consultant started 2 weeks leave today so still waiting for someone to get back to me. You know what it's like with this stuff - it ain't nothin' til it's nothin' :)  xx

    Hi sorted

    Same thinking as Kate, hoping you get a good result.

    Look after yourself.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

  • Hi Karen

    hope you get sorted and its just a blip which is what happens to most of us most of the time.

    Ironically if a receptionist had not given me a wrong white cell count then I may have never gone to the out of hours GP and as they say it could have been so very different.

    good luck and do let us know how you get on.

    According to secretary, LDH test was normal and that if there was anything to worry about, they'd be getting me straight in - so, as we hoped. So I'll ask for them to explain the ALP result at my next appointment (upper normal is 120 and mine's 143). They forget we hang on every comma never mind word so if he'd mentioned it the other day, he could've explained it there and then - don't like surprises, lol!

    Thanks for the replies - I can't believe how quickly I got my  full on 'cancer head' on ready to deal with whatever - I think that's a good thing?!?

    Hope you're all doing ok
