Ultrasound

hi

has anyone experienced a pre op assessment for operation, mine is mediastinal, everything was fine saw consultant various doctors etc, previously I had had two x rays, followed by blood test and then ct scan, this is why I was having operation to remove the lump. I was told tests were  inconclusive so I was quite positive, I have then been phoned up to tell me I need ultrasound before operation, I wasn’t with it as I thought it was same test, however obviously it isn’t, I asked nurse at hospital as to why and was told my liver blood tests came back abnormal?

Feel a bit un nerved by this?

    It can be unnerving, and a tad daunting, when you find out you're being called back in for another test but hopefully the ultrasound will be able to give your medical team conclusive results as to what you may be dealing with. Hopefully it isn't anything sinister but it's natural, and understandable, to worry.

    Many members on the forum have been in similar situations and hopefully you'll hear from some of them soon. Do keep in touch with your medical team as they'll be able to answer any other questions you may have playing on your mind and will hopefully be able to put your mind at ease.

    Kind regards,
