I have been posting a lot lately, trying to get to the bottom of my fatigue issues so apologies to anyone Im boring!!
Anyway, I've bought a couple of private tests since progress with GP seems slow and today I had an abdominal ultrasound (I wanted to check my liver, I gave up booze recently having been a heavy drinker for years) Liver is fine, but apparently I have an enlarged spleen. Sonographer said it's worth getting it checked out with GP (but no appointments til the end of the week if Im lucky.) Googling enlarged spleen was of course a bad idea.
The question is, I have had a pretty thorough raft of bloods done recently and I remember the GP saying they ruled out anything sinister like cancer (he was looking into why I had low haemocrit and haemoglobin.) So can I relax that the spleen is unlikely to be anything too scary?? Surely something would have shown up in blood tests if it was?? Can anyone comment?
