Smear Test Anxiety

I went to the doctors last Monday for a smear test and today received a text from my doctor asking me to make an appointment for a fasting blood test straight away and also thrush had been picked up on one swab. 

Why am I being asked to give blood and I can’t help worrying now being Sunday I get a text from my doctor And I’m told to book an appointment for two weeks to discuss the results. Can someone pls advise 

  • Welcome to the forum Jjgal although I'm sorry to read what's troubling you.

    I think our cancer nurses may be able to help with this so if you'd like to have a chat with them do give them a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will be along soon to offer their advice as well.

    Kind regards,
