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?

I know the feeling. I just had to wait a month to get results back to tell me if I had 2 types of cancer (both results were negative). I know how anxious it can make a person who is already anxious so I feel for you. Do you have any symptoms of blood cancer or just the fact that the test results indicate it?
