Im 9 months pregnant, due this month...
I had a fbc done fri and got the results back saturday...
Im terrified I have cancer..
My levels were as follows
Haemoglobin 15.4 (which I have CONVINCED myself is too high despite the norm being 11-16)
White cell count was 11-11.5 (Which has TERRIFIED me as the normal is meant to be 4-11 or in some places 5-10)
Platelets 156 (normal being 150-400)
Dr claimed all was good news and the HB was fab- but despite that Im convinced its too high even if I have been eating a really high iron riched diet.
The 11.5 (0.5 elevation) is apparently ''normal'' for pregnancy too
But the white cell elevation teamed up with the high-ish haemoglobin has convinced me I have cancer of some description.
The drs know about my anxiety so expected me to grill them about the results;
It then came to light that during childbirth when emergency bloods were taken in 2010- my white cells were actually 14 :( (nobody told me this until today when I phoned up the hospital)
So now im worried Ive had cancer for the last year and a half.
