Enlarged spleen

After mouths of waiting and test I found out a have fatty liver disease I don't drink or smoke at all. The doctoer told me it from my medication that i take for graves disease and the fact that am diabetic while having and ultrasound on my liver they noticed i have an enlarged spleen I have experienced pain there for a year and got put down to kidney infection but  now they saying most likely the enlarged spleen .. but doctoer says his not worried and to wait 6 weeks get more blood test.. should i be worried ? Of course cancer is the frist thing to pop up now am so worried how can it be nothing to worry about when am in pain 

  • Hello _G, 

    I know it's really hard but try not to worry while you are waiting to find out more about this enlarged spleen. It is reassuring that the doctor said that he is not worried so the best thing to do at the moment is to try not to worry about cancer or anticipate what it might be. Try and keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been in a similar situation before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
