About three years ago I was treated for a tongue cancer and currently in remission.   For the past six months I have been off work with anxiety and depression which is being treated with antidepressants and talking therapies.   There has been no change in my mood so have been referred to a mental health  nurse who is attached to the surgery.  Before they will change my tablets etc they wanted GP to rule out any physical reason for my symptoms.   The doctor called me in last week and told me that I needed to be referred to a hematologist for a light chain test.   The referral letter also mentions leukaemia and lymphoma.   I have done some Google research and the light chain tests seems to be for myeloma.   I am confused about which forum I should join and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
