A scared Mom xx

Hi, I've just come across this as I've been searching the Web for answers as to how to cope with waiting on tests and results. It's not for me.. I have a 15 year old daughter who has been sick a long time, and I feel guilty because I thought she was looking to get out of school and didn't pay much attention to her complaining. I finally sent her to the doctor a couple of weeks ago and she had blood tests done. I can't remember what the technical terms are that he used, but he called me a day later and told me something was found in her blood and its quite high.. Same as what's found in ovarian cancer and we had to arrange hospital appointments. He gave me options as to the best tests for her, so she is going for an ultrasound on Friday to check for abnormalities and we can go from there. He told me not to tell her what the tests are for incase it upsets her. I'm always so open with my daughter and tell her everything, so this is killing me having to keep it a secret from her. I'm in bits thinking about it and worried for her. If the tests show cancer I really don't know how she will cope with the news. I can't even talk to anyone about this as I'm afraid it will get back to her and she will be upset. Does anyone know if this shows up in your blood is there a chance its wrong? I can't stop thinking about it and so scared for her. I know it's not me, so I hope you don't mind me posting this here, I'm just scared, stressed, confused, and need someone to talk to. Xx

  • Hi msgavi a lot of people on here are nervous about things. You are welcome to the forum anytime you like. Certain blood tests show up certain things, they always double check with different tests and scans to make sure it is or isn't. Hopefully someone can help you more than I can on here. Best wishes.
