Hi sorry I didn't get back to you last night. Yes my GP is aware. I am currently on fortisip fortijuice drinks. I had a lung function test and I couldn't quite understand but the nurse said my results were very poor and out of her comfort zone she wants to refer me to a lung specialist. I also had to go for a smear test last week and results came back severe high grade abnormal cells I've got to go this week for more tests. I'm petrified xx

I have a rapid weight loss going on, too, to the point where it is making me weak.
It is Thanksgiving Day here, so I can't contact my GP, will tomorrow.
Did your tests show anything? -

Hi guys well sadly I've been for tests and I have cervical cancer. My brain can't process information right now and everything is a blank. I don't even know what day it is.
