    high calcium?

    I've had my blood results back and they've told me I have slightly high calcium levels.
    I'm terrified.
    What does this mean?
    My mum had high calcium levels as she was dying of breast cancer.
    I can't see any other causes for this other than cancer.
    Please help me.
    I'm panicking so much.

    You probably have small problem with (para)thyroid gland. It's incredibly common and parathyroid is almost always the culprit for that. Also harmless and easily controlled by medication.

    Ever heard of "Moans, groans, stones and bones" syndrome? Well, that's it, and that will probably explain your bone pain too

    I've got to go to see the doctor. Receptionist told me it wasn't urgent but I'm scared.
