mid 30's, healthy, pretty fit, no weight loss thank God but felt rough enough to complain about it since the weekend; lethargic, fatigued, nauseous, weak, itchy skin with chest pain and v dark wee.
GP ran bloods yesterday and called this morning to say they show liver abnormalities. Referred for full liver screen (Friday) and ultrasound (ASAP but likely week after next due to covid backlog).
We are both terrified and not sure what to say really. Hoping there are - many - things this could be that aren't cancer??
He has twice in the past reacted badly to a long ish afternoon in the pub, not student scale lash or anything (working parents, left that long in the past!) but 7/8 pints over an afternoon with food - been almost unconscious and vomited hard for 24h, ending up in A&E. they said then his liver function was abnormal but they clearly didn't believe he hadn't just been on a mega bender so of course it was. He did a whisky tasting on zoom on sat with mates (eye roll) - maybe 5 whiskies in total plus a glass of red, not a raging lash I admit but definitely not a normal night by standards. Desperately hoping he just has some underlying endocrine imbalance / sensitivity to bigger quantities of alcohol - is this realistic?
Any reassurance would be gratefully received, if it's possible. I know internet doth not equal a doctor but we are struggling to think about anything else right now. TIA anyway x
