Name changed as lots of people know. Just looking for a handhold and any personal experience.
Husband has had a 'tender' tummy for a couple of months. He's also had 3 vomiting episodes in the last 5 months, but we thought they were food poisoning the first 2 times. Then at the end of the week he turned yellow, including his eyes and peeing very dark. Took him to the GP on Friday who sent him to hospital.
He's had blood tests but no scan and not seen a gastro specialist yet because they don't work weekends. GP thought gallbladder (possibly caused as he lost a lot of weight last year and gained most back) but the ward doctor thinks it's a problem with his liver not gallbladder because of his bloods. One (can't remember what) is meant to be under 50 and it's in the 900s (up from 800s when he was admitted). One is meant to be below 130 and it's 230. Bilirubin is 85, not sure what it's meant to be. He hasn't vomited since Monday night and is eating a bit and pooing (pale, chalky). Sorry for all the medical details I just thought someone might ask. He's 50 and his BMI is over 50.
The main thing really is that I'm just petrified. I can't visit due to Covid and equally can't have family or friends come round to hug me and I just feel so alone. He's my best friend and I am so scared. We have two youngish children. I'm scared they won't be able to diagnose properly because of his size and I'm beyond frightened that it's something like pancreatic cancer and that we're going to lose him. I'm trying to hold myself together for the kids but can't stop crying when I'm alone in the evening. Taking him in on Friday and then having no diagnosis all weekend has been so awful.
