Is this a fasting test? It doesn`t seem clear and the doctor didn`t mention it either way.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.you've got me doubting myself now SJ lol I know I have had a couple fo fasting tests this last year but they may have been the cholesterol ones, I have a thyroid test once a year. Actually yes it will be the fasting one that is the thyroid one, or will it? I've been having them since 1987 and I can;t remember! lol
Thanks for the replies. I seriously need my cup of strong Kenyan tea in the morning so I wouldn`t fare well if it was me.
Mum had slightly raised levels of calcium in the blood tests that the doctor did and he wants to check the parathyroid gland. I`m really hoping it`s that but it seems to be too much of a coincidence really.

She had breast cancer about 5 years ago though Sqad which makes me worried. The only straw I`m clutching at the moment is that she is on a thiazide drug (Bendro etc long word lol) and calcium/vit D tablets, the combination of which can raise serum calcium levels. The GP has put her back to the oncologist who is organising a bone scan. We`ll just have to see, I guess.
