Hi everyone (sorry if I rant on!)
Almost 2 months ago I had a liver MRI and MRCP.
I am getting increasingly worried about my spleen.
I was told that it is swollen at 19cm with splenic infarcts.
I have been referred to haematology by my gastroenterologists.
Around 3-4 weeks ago my gp had a request for so many specialised hospital type blood tests to be taken.
They are suspecting a blood disorder/disease as the cause of the swollen spleen.
Does anyone know anything about enlarged spleens?
The pain around my back and upper left stomach is increasing to the point where I’m crying and I don’t know what to do.
I live in a deprived area- the NHS here are trying and doing a wonderful job but are equally struggling as waiting lists here are the worst in the uk.
I’m 29 and worrying in case I have a type of blood cancer or in case my spleen ruptures- maybe abit over dramatic but the pain and other symptoms are preventing me from living my life at this point.
If someone could relate to enlarged spleens or give advice/more information, I’d appreciate it,
Thank you
