Scared yet again
A year on Friday I first found out I had BC and to some of you I've had an easy ride. Sat here so scared thinking it's come back back having loads of blood tests ultra sound and mri. Only went to Dr...
So sorry that you are going thru this, @Pommy8 - I think we can all relate to anxiety that you are going thru xx Any rise in the 'acceptable numbers' is always of concern :( and yes, totally scary, specially when your GP tells you to go immediately to ER :(
I've had huge CRP numbers in the past (my GP used to check it all the time) - even before I was diagnosed with BC ..... if you have any sort of arthritis (as I do) it can contribute to the high CRP numbers ..... they also put my onto Vioxx (anti inflam) when I injured my hip and it alone, sent my numbers sky high & also stuffed my liver - so much so, they thought I was an alcoholic, the numbers were so high ....
I hope everything settles for you - and good luck with your lung & spleen tests xx. Big hugs. Take care
