He said he'll discuss it with me on Thursday.

I am about to have a legit panic attack. I was actually already on the verge of one before I got the news. I have a weird feeling in my lungs which I thought was anxiety. What the **** does a secondary cause mean? Is that the blood cancer those 2 levels can indicate when they are high?

I am really really scared and I have to wait 2 days to get answers from him. My mom is all like "oh don't worry about it." But how can anyone, even someone without an anxiety disorder not worry over this?
Aww Im so sorry, its totally understandable to be feeling so anxious. I know I would be the same. Do you have any distraction techniques that work for you? Just so you could take your mind off things for a little while?
Sending lots of hugs you way
