Very quick ultrasound appointment

Hi there, I've come to this forum for opinions because I'm a bit worried. I have had a pain under my right ribs for months and have told the doctor several times - endless blood and liver function tests - some raised Alts and other small probs but not abnormal. I've had a cholecysrectomy and two ERCPs and had a liver infection after a visit to Mexico 18 years ago. I also had a gall dtone stuck in my bile duct and a liver infection then (in 2007) On Friday I saw a doctor at a different practice who referred me for a liver scan yesterday. It's on Friday. Should I be worried that it's so quick? I don't usually panic but I feel so ropey (aching joints, nausea, tiredness) that I'm imagining all sorts. Thank you in advance.

I was called to see my doctor after the ultrasound. My common bile duct and some intrahepatic ducts are dilated. Head of pancreas fine, couldn't see tail on ultrasound. I have an urgent CT scan but not an urgent referral to surgeons. Should I be relieved? 😂😊😊
