Re: Chances of Liver Cancer with the following blood test result and symptoms?
Rather than worry (easier said that done) try not to think about it too much until the results are there. As the doctor says, they don't think with those results it's cancer. I know it's going to play on your mind.
The liver is an incredible organ that quite rightly can self heal over time. Alcohol use can throw off everything in our liver and give results like that.
I am a massive worrier. It's in my genes. I've got a life long history of panic disorder and it only took the slightly cut when I was young to cause me screaming into a panic.
As I got older and the internet became available, I discovered how easy it was to google symptoms.
This is led me to the doctors and hospital so many times with what I believe was cancer of the balls, cancer of the blood (turned out I just had a rash), meningitis any time I got the flu, a tumour under my chin (that came up overnight... was a tooth infection), cancer of the nipples (I'm male and in school people gave me one too many 'nipple cripples' which caused swelling) and a few ECGs from heart palps. Each time before the doctor or hospital, I would google symptoms, google cancers, google peoples stories about they first discovered they got those cancers. This caused me to be an utter wreck each and every time. I wish I could count the days and weeks I've spent in utter panic that I was seriously ill. The worst thing medically that's ever happened to me is the flu and an ear infection when I was 6 years old.
My health anxiety has gone now. Obviously if I had anything abnormal in my bloods I would be a bit concerned but for now there is literally nothing you can do but wait and whatever the results are, you can worry about it then. For now, try your very best (I know it's so hard) to not let yourself worry too much.
I do hope everything is ok and I'm sure it will be. Do let us know about any updates. We are all here for you.
