Seems a long wait ....

Morning,

I've not been well for a few months with pain, tiredness, vomiting, bloating and regular UTIs.

it was picked up in December my ggt levels were high and needed to be checked again, in Feb these were much higher. I was referred for a liver ultrasound to check for gallstones and none were found. When my bloods were checked again my CA125 levels are also high. I've now been referred for an urgent pelvis ultrasound nearly 2 weeks ago, I had a letter a few days ago saying this will be on the 15/4.

The last 2 nights have not been good with pain in my side, and back shortness of breath and pain when I breath in.  I have a history of breast cancer in my family and I do feel worried, I just feel this process seems so slow and drawn out. I feel like I would like some assessment that checks all my body at one time.

has anyone else felt like this or can give me any advice please? 
 

Thankyou

  • Hello Protea11, 

    A warm welcome to our forum. It won't be long now before you have that pelvis ultrasound and I do hope it will shed some light on what is causing all these symptoms. If you feel things have got a lot worse in the last couple of nights, do give your doctor a call and mention the shortness of breath if it is a new symptom and you haven't flagged this already. Do talk about your worries and the history of breast cancer in your family and that you feel you would like to have a good assessment of what is going on. 

    I hope you get some definite answers very soon and best of luck for your ultrasound on the 15th.

    Best wishes,
