Hi
I have had some health issues recently after having my son (now 19 weeks) which i have been fine with (Preeclampsia and High BP which are now sorted)
The last few doctors appt i have had have showed white blood cells in my urine, each time they have been sent off for culture. the first came back with Pseudomonas so had to do another which then came back which no pseudomonas but elevated WBC with no bacteria growth....so again he asked for another.... i didn't hear anything for 2 weeks so assumed that all was good especially as i haven't had any symptoms what so ever so carried on with normal life looking after my son etc
Then i get a letter from the doctor himself asking me to make a further appt as he is not happy that WBC have been found on the last 3 occasions with no growth and would like to 'make sure there is no significant cause for this' <----his words
the letter was written on the 22nd July.... i received it on the 27th July and he is now on AL and my next appt with him is the 15th August!!!!
I managed to get a call from another GP to reassure me that it may just be inflammation of the urinary tract but its done little really. Even the receptionist said if it was urgent the doctor would have called not written.
I googled 'WBC in urine no growth' and it came up with Kidney Cancer/Bladder Cancer plus others.
Now i am going into panic mode, to the point where i have lost 7lbs in a week!!!! which then led me on to googling 'significant weight loss' which came up with cancer... now i am finding myself googling every twinge my body has....
- sore area on spine.... Spinal Cancer
- raised lymph nodes on collar bone (which i know aren't really raised but still google)
- found a yellow bruise on my stomach with no recollection of how it got there - Leukemia!
- breast exam (i have lumpy boobs anyway) - convinced i have breast cancer
- spotting after sex (just once and i remember my 2nd degree tear reopened slightly) - cervical cancer
-intermittent back pain - cancer (even though the doctor said it was muscular)
So in the last week i have managed to self diagnose every cancer known just because of the doctors letter.
I am so tense, i woke up this morning and my whole back aches which i know is from the tension.
i work in the oncology department and i am on the board of a cancer charity so i see this DAILY! which is not helping. My mum had cancer at 29 (she survived) and i am 29 now.
I am withdrawn, completely panicking about leaving my son, telling my son 'mummy loves you, i will miss you when i am gone' panicking that i was meant to get life insurance but haven't gotten round to it. i have gone too far and i cannot come out of it. My husband is trying his best to calm me and it works for all of half a day then at night time i can't sleep and keep on googling!
I can't stand being near anyone and recently i have been holding my son less and less because i am so upset inside.
I am going to speak to my GP about this when i see him on the 15th.
Has anyone ever had WBC in urine no growth no symptoms????
Any insight would be a huge help! xxx
