RE: Freaking out GP letter following blood test

Dear all,

 

I am freaking out. I just got home and I found a letter from my GP’s surgery, asking me to make an appointment following my blood test results. The letter is dated on the 7th of January and I think I had the blood test done on the previous day.

 

I am really scared. I have had other test done, requested by my GP, (bone scans, MRI and other blood test), and I have never gotten a letter or any form of communication requesting me to book and appointment.

 

The blood test was to check the lever function, the level of calcium on the blood and cholesterol levels. I am just shaking! For sure is something abnormal in there other wise they wouldn’t have bothered to contact me.

 

The reason why the GP requested the blood test was after I visited the surgery a few months ago, complaining about a problem with my leg that seemed to be swollen and a bit numbed. The GP them requested an MRI scan of the lumbar area and a blood test, ( I did not have done because I am terrified of needles). The MRI did not show anything suspicious and, now, when I finally gathered the “courage” to have the blood test bang!!!

 

Right now, I don’t know what to do. Surgery is closed tomorrow, the only available appointments will be for next week, and … I am just to familiar with this nauseating feeling of waiting and suspecting.

 

I will really appreciate some support right now

 

A very scary person
