About the clinic

Haematology and oncology are the fields where a single test result can change a person's life — and where the pace of the conversation therefore matters almost as much as its content. At the same time, the majority of abnormal blood tests are benign: iron deficiency, infection or natural variation explain the great majority of findings that first cause considerable worry.

We take the time to explain complex test results at a calm pace, without rushing and without signing up to more worry than the finding actually warrants. Many of our appointments are about making a frightening test result understandable.

How it works

1Book and describe your main problem online.
2Upload previous results if you have them — test results, examinations, medication list.
3Video consultation — review of your history and targeted questions.
4A clear plan — next steps, any treatment, and a timeframe for follow-up.

What to prepare

A timeline of your symptoms (when it started, what triggers or relieves it)
Current medications and doses
Known allergies and previous illnesses
Previous test results and examinations, with dates if possible
Your three most important questions for the visit

Call your local emergency number immediately or go to the nearest emergency department if you have:

Uncontrolled bleeding
High fever during ongoing cancer treatment
During an ongoing infection: sudden confusion, rapid or laboured breathing, violent shivering, skin that has turned mottled, pale or bluish, or not having passed urine for a day — these can be signs of sepsis. Call your local emergency number. Fever does not have to be present. During chemotherapy or with known neutropenia the risk is particularly high and the course can move fast — do not wait.
Sudden facial drooping, weakness in an arm, slurred speech or difficulty finding words (signs of stroke). A single one of these symptoms is enough — call your local emergency number immediately. Call even if the symptoms pass on their own.
Severe difficulty breathing
Sharply deteriorating general condition

Digital care cannot replace emergency services. If unsure, seek care immediately.

Common questions

When should I book this clinic?

For abnormal blood tests, or symptoms such as fatigue, bleeding or recurrent infections.

Can you give a second opinion in cancer?

Yes, and we explain the test results and the treatment.

Do I need a referral?

No, you can book directly online.

Does this replace hospital care?

No, it complements but does not replace emergency care or hospital treatment.

Is a second opinion common with cancer diagnoses?

Yes, particularly with cancer diagnoses and treatment plans.

Can you interpret biopsy reports?

Yes.

What do I do about a high fever during cancer treatment?

Seek emergency care immediately — see the safety box.

Does an abnormal blood value mean I have cancer?

Almost never. By far the most common causes of abnormal blood values are iron deficiency, infection and normal variation.

Can I bring a relative to the appointment?

Yes, and it is recommended when results are being given or complex ground is being covered — two people remember considerably more than one.

How quickly will I know if something needs investigating further?

You get a clear plan during the appointment itself, stating what should be done and within what timeframe.

Fifteen common conditions

Leukaemia — investigation support

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Cancer affecting the white blood cells and bone marrow.
Symptoms: Fatigue, paleness, recurrent infections, a tendency to bleed.
What the doctor looks for: An abnormal blood count.
Investigations: Blood tests; confirmation often requires specialist investigation.
Diagnosis: Specialist investigation, sometimes a bone marrow sample.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Close, according to the oncology plan.
Prognosis: Varies greatly with the type.
What you can do yourself: Bring all your previous blood test results — the change over time is central.
When should you book?: For repeatedly abnormal blood values.

Lymphoma — investigation support

Typical age: Can begin at any age.
Background: Cancer of the lymphatic system.
Symptoms: Swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, weight loss.
What the doctor looks for: The state of the lymph nodes, and general symptoms.
Investigations: Requires specialist investigation, often a biopsy.
Diagnosis: Specialist investigation.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Close during and after treatment.
Prognosis: Varies greatly with type and stage.
What you can do yourself: Note the size of the node, whether it is tender, and how long it has been there.
When should you book?: For an enlarged lymph node present for more than four weeks without an infection.

Myeloma — investigation support

Typical age: More common in older adults.
Background: A bone marrow disease affecting the plasma cells.
Symptoms: Bone pain, fatigue, abnormal blood tests.
What the doctor looks for: The test findings, and skeletal symptoms.
Investigations: Blood tests; requires specialist investigation.
Diagnosis: Specialist investigation.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Varies; good symptom control is often achievable.
What you can do yourself: Note any bone pain, particularly at night or in the back.
When should you book?: For bone pain together with abnormal blood values.

Anaemia

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Too few, or poorly functioning, red blood cells.
Symptoms: Fatigue, paleness, breathlessness.
What the doctor looks for: The blood count, and the underlying cause.
Investigations: Blood tests.
Diagnosis: The test result.
Management: Directed at the cause (for example iron supplements).
Follow-up: A repeat blood test.
Prognosis: Good once the cause has been identified.
What you can do yourself: Take the iron with a vitamin C–rich drink and not together with milk, coffee or tea — it improves absorption noticeably. Never change the dose on your own.
When should you book?: For fatigue with a low blood count; the cause should always be investigated, not just the value corrected.

Thrombocytopenia (tendency to bleed)

Typical age: All ages.
Background: A low platelet count, with several possible causes.
Symptoms: Bruising, a tendency to bleed.
What the doctor looks for: The degree, and the underlying cause.
Investigations: Blood tests.
Diagnosis: The test result, sometimes further investigation.
Management: Directed at the cause.
Follow-up: According to the cause.
Prognosis: Varies with the underlying condition.
What you can do yourself: Avoid NSAIDs when platelets are low — they impair platelet function further.
When should you book?: For an increased tendency to bruise, or nosebleeds.

Clotting disorder

Typical age: All ages; may be inherited or acquired.
Background: An increased risk of bleeding or of blood clots.
Symptoms: Abnormal bleeding, or a tendency to clot.
What the doctor looks for: The bleeding and clotting history, and the family history.
Investigations: Blood tests (clotting screen).
Diagnosis: The test result.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Varies with the type.
What you can do yourself: Map out the bleeding history in your family — it is often decisive.
When should you book?: Ahead of planned surgery when a bleeding tendency is known.

Neutropenia

Typical age: All ages; common during cancer treatment.
Background: Low white blood cells (neutrophils), which raises the risk of infection.
Symptoms: Often none at all, found on a blood test; an increased tendency to infection.
What the doctor looks for: Signs of infection, and the test values.
Investigations: Blood tests.
Diagnosis: The test result.
Management: Directed at the cause, with advice on preventing infection.
Follow-up: Close during ongoing cancer treatment.
Prognosis: Varies with the cause.
What you can do yourself: With a fever during chemotherapy — seek care immediately, do not wait and see.
When should you book?: This is emergency care if you have a fever. Book for follow-up otherwise.

A high fever with known neutropenia or during cancer treatment is an emergency — see the safety box.

Polycythaemia

Typical age: Adults.
Background: A raised number of red blood cells.
Symptoms: Sometimes headache, flushed skin, an increased risk of clots.
What the doctor looks for: The blood values, and the symptoms.
Investigations: Blood tests, sometimes further investigation.
Diagnosis: The test result, sometimes specialist investigation.
Management: According to the specialist plan.
Follow-up: Regular.
Prognosis: Good with the right follow-up.
What you can do yourself: Stopping smoking and staying well hydrated lowers the risk of clots.
When should you book?: For a repeatedly raised blood value.

Enlarged lymph nodes — investigation

Typical age: All ages.
Background: Enlarged lymph nodes, which can have many causes from infection to more serious conditions.
Symptoms: Swelling you can feel, sometimes with fever or fatigue.
What the doctor looks for: Location, size, duration and associated symptoms.
Investigations: History, blood tests, sometimes onward referral.
Diagnosis: Depends on the underlying cause.
Management: Directed at the cause.
Follow-up: According to the findings.
Prognosis: Varies; usually a benign cause, but persistent swelling always requires investigation.
What you can do yourself: Note the size, whether it is tender, and whether it has shrunk since you noticed it.
When should you book?: For a node present for more than four weeks, or one that is growing.

Follow-up after cancer treatment

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: Structured follow-up after completed cancer treatment.
Symptoms: Varies; may include treatment-related side effects.
What the doctor looks for: How symptoms are developing, and the effect of treatment.
Investigations: A review of previous records and test results.
Diagnosis: Already made; this concerns the follow-up.
Management: Symptom relief and supportive treatment.
Follow-up: According to the individual oncology plan.
Prognosis: Varies with the underlying disease and the response to treatment.
What you can do yourself: Keep a list of late side effects — they often go uninvestigated unless they are raised.
When should you book?: For new symptoms, or for planned follow-up.

Iron deficiency anaemia — find the cause, don't just top it up

Typical age: All ages; most common in menstruating women and people over 60.
Background: Iron deficiency is extremely common — but what really matters is not correcting the value, it is understanding why the iron is disappearing. In men and post-menopausal women, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract is the most common cause, which means iron deficiency in that group should always prompt investigation.
Common symptoms: Fatigue, breathlessness on exertion, paleness, palpitations, sometimes a craving for ice or unusual things.
What the doctor looks for: Age, sex and menstrual status — these govern how extensive the search for a cause should be.
Investigations: Blood count, ferritin, transferrin saturation; colonoscopy and gastroscopy in men and post-menopausal women.
How the assessment is made: By always asking where the iron is going.
Management: Iron supplements, together with treatment of the underlying cause.
Follow-up: A blood test after three months.
Risk factors to know: Heavy periods, coeliac disease, NSAID use, an unplanned vegetarian diet, previous stomach surgery.
Common misconception: That iron deficiency always comes from the diet. In men and older women, blood loss is the most common cause and requires investigation.
What you can do yourself: Take the iron with a vitamin C–rich drink and not together with milk, coffee or tea — it improves absorption noticeably. Never change the dose on your own; how often the iron should be taken depends on how pronounced the deficiency is, and that is your doctor's decision.
When should you book?: For confirmed iron deficiency, particularly if you are a man or a woman past the menopause.
Prognosis: Very good once the cause has been found.

Raised or lowered white blood cells

Typical age: All ages.
Background: One of the most common reasons for worry after a blood test. The great majority of abnormalities are due to infection, inflammation, stress or medication — and settle on their own. It is the change over time, not a single value, that decides whether investigation is needed.
Common symptoms: Often none at all — the finding is made during testing done for another reason.
What the doctor looks for: Which type of white blood cell is abnormal, by how much, and whether the value has changed over time.
Investigations: A repeat test after a few weeks is often the first step; a differential count and further tests if the abnormality persists.
How the assessment is made: By judging the trend rather than a single value.
Management: Directed at the cause; often none at all.
Follow-up: A repeat test.
Risk factors to know: A recent infection, corticosteroid treatment (which raises the white cells), certain medicines, smoking.
Common misconception: That abnormal white blood cells mean leukaemia. That is a very uncommon cause compared with infection and the effects of medication.
What you can do yourself: Note whether you had an infection in the weeks before the test — that explains many abnormalities.
When should you book?: For an abnormality that persists on a repeat test, or one with symptoms alongside it.
Prognosis: Very good — most abnormalities are temporary.

Blood clots — risk assessment and follow-up

Typical age: All adult ages; the risk rises with age.
Background: After a blood clot, two questions are central: why it happened, and how long anticoagulant treatment should continue. The answer depends on whether the clot had a clear trigger (surgery, a cast, a long journey) or came without explanation — that distinction governs the whole length of treatment.
Symptoms at follow-up: Questions about the length of treatment, the risk of recurrence, and what is safe to do.
What the doctor looks for: Whether the clot was provoked or unprovoked, along with heredity and risk factors.
Investigations: A review of the sequence of events; a clotting investigation in selected cases.
How the assessment is made: On the basis of the triggering factors and the individual risk of recurrence.
Management: Anticoagulants according to an individual plan.
Follow-up: Regular during the treatment period.
Risk factors to know: Immobility, surgery, pregnancy, the contraceptive pill, cancer, an inherited clotting disorder, long flights.
Common misconception: That everyone should be on anticoagulants for life. The length of treatment is individualised according to cause and risk.
What you can do yourself: Move your legs regularly on long journeys and after surgery — a simple and effective preventive measure.
When should you book?: For follow-up after a blood clot, or with questions about the length of treatment. For new swelling, breathlessness or chest pain — emergency care.
Prognosis: Good with the right treatment and risk assessment.

Symptoms that should be investigated for suspected cancer

Typical age: All adult ages; the significance rises with age.
Background: Some symptoms should always be investigated promptly — not because they usually mean cancer, which they do not, but because early detection changes the outlook dramatically when they do. Knowing these symptoms is therefore valuable for everyone, while at the same time it should not create unnecessary worry.
Common symptoms: Unintentional weight loss, blood in the stool or urine, long-standing hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, a growing lump, a change in bowel habit over several weeks, bleeding after the menopause.
What the doctor looks for: How long the symptom has lasted, whether it is progressing, and age and risk factors.
Investigations: Directed by the symptom; standardised care pathways exist for several of these questions.
How the assessment is made: By judging whether the symptom meets the criteria for prompt investigation.
Management: Depends on the findings.
Follow-up: According to the results of the investigation.
Risk factors to know: Age, smoking, heredity, previous cancer, long-standing inflammatory disease.
Common misconception: That you should wait and see whether the symptom passes. With these particular symptoms, it is exactly that waiting time that affects the outlook most.
What you can do yourself: Note when the symptom started and whether it has changed — duration is often what decides how promptly it should be investigated.
When should you book?: For any of the symptoms above, without waiting for them to pass.
Prognosis: Considerably better with early investigation — which is the whole point of seeking help.

Life after cancer treatment

Typical age: All adult ages.
Background: More and more people live long lives after cancer treatment — but the period afterwards is often underestimated. Fatigue, reduced fitness, difficulty concentrating, worry about recurrence and late side effects are all common, and many find that support falls away just as treatment ends.
Common symptoms: Long-standing fatigue, cognitive difficulties, neuropathy, hormonal problems, anxiety before check-ups.
What the doctor looks for: Late side effects of the specific treatment given, and mental health.
Investigations: A review of the treatment history; targeted tests where late effects are suspected.
How the assessment is made: Starting from which treatment was given — different treatments produce different late effects.
Management: Directed at the specific problems; physical activity has a well-documented effect on cancer-related fatigue.
Follow-up: According to the oncology plan, and as needed.
Risk factors to know: Radiotherapy to the chest or neck, certain chemotherapy drugs (affecting the heart or nerves), hormonal treatment.
Common misconception: That you should feel well as soon as treatment is over. For many, the months afterwards are the hardest — and that is entirely normal.
What you can do yourself: Physical activity has the strongest documented effect against cancer-related fatigue, even when that feels contradictory.
When should you book?: For problems that persist after treatment has ended, or to go through late side effects.
Prognosis: Good improvement over time, often with the right support and gradually increasing activity.
