Waiting for CT and biopsy results

Hi , 

I've posted on here before with my journey so far . I have high platelets so numerous tests carried out including,  bone marrow biopsy which im still waiting for the results as it needed sending away for further testing and a second opinion. 

I'm also had a CT scan yesterday  for kidney pain so im hoping I won't have to wait to long for the results. I'm having a lot of pain and have been for 3 months! 
 

Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, high platelets and pain elsewhere.

Could it be spleen pain ? I'm just not sure what's happening tbh . 

I've had previous issues with my kidneys before and a operation many years ago . 

I can't seem to get through to my drs and when I mentioned to the Haemotologist they didn't offer any advice other than to refer me to the Urologist.  Any advice would be great . 
 

Not sure I can get through another month or so until my Haemotologist appointment on the 3rd of May . 
It's taking its toll for sure .
 

many thanks Lou69

    Hello Lou69, 

    I am sorry to hear you've been experiencing this kidney pain for three months and that you have high platelets. It's good that they did a CT scan to find out what is causing this persistent kidney pain and I hope it won't take you too long to get the results.

    Unfortunately no one here will have the medical expertise to tell you what this pain might be and if it could be related to the operation you had many years ago but hopefully your CT scan results will shed some light on all this. A month is quite a long time to have to wait for your appointment and the best thing to do while you are waiting for your appointment and for your CT scan results is to keep busy and distracted if you can keeping well away from the temptation to look anything up on Google. It won't be long now until you get some answers and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    I hope that you will hear from the shared experiences of other forum members who have had similar issues before. 

    Everything crossed for you it turns out to be nothing of concern! 

    Best wishes,
