Well, this is turning out to be a GREAT week.
So this week is turning out to be even worse then I imagined. I have exams all week which isn't exactly helping my stress levels, and I've also just got some news from the doctors that has got me into such a state of worry I don't know what to do.
I went to the doctors yesterday because I've been bruising easily and feeling really tired and my mum was really worried because I had treatment for cancer a few years ago which supressed my bone marrow so I don't produce enough platelets etc. Well they've just called my mum saying they have found tumour markers in my urine so they want to send me to the hospital for tests.
They've said that sometimes you can't trust tumour markers etc, but seeing as I've had cancer in the past they have to follow it up, like they say, better safe then sorry. But I just have this haunting feeling that the cancer must have come back, because what of the chances of a cancer survivor having a false positive on a test like that?
My mum said she didn't want to tell me, because she didn't want to worry me when I have my exams, but I heard her talking on the phone and made her tell me what was going on. I'm pretty shaken and worried, to say the least.
I also have to go to the hospital for a blood and platelet transfusion tomorrow night.
My story is on pause until my exams are finished and until I discover whether I have relapsed or not. The only positive thing about all of this is that if I have relapsed, it will be in the early stage's most likely because I havn't really had any unusual symptoms.
So, yeah....Wish me luck.
