I have been feeling very run down recently (bearing in mind i am quite unhealthy) and i have massive health anxiety, i have previoisly convinced myself i have a chordoma and a brain tumour amongst many other things.

I was recently in hospital and i had my bloods tested and they said that i seemed to be fighting an infection meaning i assume i had a high white blood cell count and they said i had a chest infection which im pretty sure i didnt and gave me some antibiotics and sent me on my way. If it was something more sinister would they have been able to tell? Like would my white blood count have been even higher??

Hi, sorry you have been feeling rotten. Rest assured they would have certainly have known by your bloods if there was something more sinister. Trust the tests more than our opinions x

Leukaemia isn't an obscure disease, and the doctor's would have been on it if you had any signs of it.
