Next fear....gallbladder cancer. I feel like it doesn't end. I get over one fear and I'm on to the next.
My doctor sent me for a pelvic ultrasound and added abdomen because he usually automatically does both together. He called me with the results and told me all looks good except I have a gallstone and gallbladder wall thickening. He told me that this was an incidental finding, and if I have no symptoms, I can leave it alone. He told me not to worry. Well, I have been spiraling since, googling, and I came accross gallbladder wall thickening could be a sign of gallbladder cancer. I have had a discomfort for years in the gallbladder area, on and off, but my previous dr said I had gastritis and the previous ultrasounds back then were Normal. What if after all these years I developed gallbladder cancer? I'm so scared, all I do is cry all day. Would the ultrasound pick up cancer? My bloodwork was normal, including my liver function tests. Has anyone been through this?
