Hi,

I am currently going through the process of figuring out if I have leukaemia with my GP and I was just wondering what your symptoms were, and what your blood tests looked like if you were diagnosed?

Did anyone have a normal/unconcerning blood test result but still have leukaemia? 

Did anyone have to press their GP for a referral for a biopsy? 

I'm new to all of this so apologies for all of the questions, trying to best prepare myself and be realistic.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    As the online community is divided up into different support groups, I'm going to recommend that you join the main leukaemia group so that you can connect directly with others who have this type of cancer.

    To join just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here, and join in with existing conversations by clicking on reply.

    It would be great if you could pop something about your tests so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
