sons bloodwork

Welcome Tiffany, I'm happy you found us but so sorry to hear the mistake at the lab has your anxiety high.

Sadly, we are never 100% guaranteed that blood work will be right. I understand your fear, I would be feeling the same way if it was my child. All I can suggest is to get a third opinion. You've had one positive and one negative results, so maybe get a third to be safe. Although I think the test at the hospital is probably right and you don't have anything to worry about.

In the meantime, Look at the top link on the page and you'll see our resources, there are alot of helpful self help links there, to take your mind off this and to lessen your anxiety.

Keep on posting and we will walk this journey with you if you'd like us too.

Oh I thought it was your child, it is your boyfriend. My mistake I'm sorry. Well if your BF says he is good with the second test then there really isn't anything you can do but try to accept it. I know that is hard, it would upset me too hearing the first results, but your boyfriend is an adult and he needs to deal with his own health issues, as hard as that is for some of us woman, we can't make our men do what we want all the time, lol.

I hope you can accept the second test results, and work on getting your anxiety down.

OH okay, I understand now. It is your son, but BF is saying second results are good enough, got ya now. Sorry for the confusion. Well then what I said initially still stands. If you doctor won't do the blood test, can you go to a different doctor?

I'm sorry you are going thru this, try to watch a mindfulness video and see if it helps lower your anxiety, just go to youtube and search for mindfulness for anxiety and you'll get a ton of this.

Hi Tiffany.

You can request another blood work. They cannot refuse. Be firm if your really concerned. I highly doubt he has it. If second results from hospital were negative. May I ask what made you check for this.

It was just routine done yearly for phyic meds he is on for ADHD and autism. All other years normal wasn't looking for lukemia. Just a fluk I guess has no symptoms of disease. Ty everyone
