Hi All,

First time posting on here, reaching out for anything that can put my mind at ease. I have been unwell for a few months now, all started with bout of infections one after another (COVID, Chest Infection, Ear Infection then Gastroenteritis). This happened in same month. I had full blood count and liver function tests all come back abnormal. Low red blood cell count, low Haemetocrit, high ALT and Billirubin. B12 was 1500 and ferritin 456. Had another round of blood tests which showed some improvement, ferritin in normal range but B12 still 1200 rest still abnormal. Doctors misdiagnosed me with Hep A, saw 2 different docs who both said with confidence not Hep A as I was vaccinated.

I was referred for Ultrasound but paid to go private as I was concerned about the pain in my left side and feeling dizzy/light headed. Scan revealed enlarged spleen at 16.6cm. I still have the pain under my ribs which sometimes takes my breath away. I started getting a dull ache in my left shoulder every now and then at the weekend worse when in bed. 
 

GP has referred me to Haemotology but said it could be a few months and nothing he can do to speed it up. I worry about cancer as I do not have an infection, no fever or chills. Worried that I should be on a 2 week referral because of my symtoms which GP is aware of and sooner I get seen the better. I cannot eat without pain after, cannot play with my little girls because it starts hurting. GP just gave me painkillers (Co-codamol) to get me by.

Sorry for the long post just worried and don't know what to do for the best.
