Hi Cleigh
It's easy to jump to conclusions and worry that you might have cancer when you're feeling unwell, especially as you say that members of your family have had cancer.
The best person to ask what they are testing your blood for would be your GP as any number of tests from a blood sample can be asked for and any of us in the online community would only be guessing.
If it does turn out that you have cancer, then we have a very supportive community based around cancer specific forums where you can ask questions and share experiences. Choose from this list to join the appropriate forum for you.
I'll be keeping everything crossed for you that you don't end up with a cancer diagnosis.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
