Hi everyone. I have had breast cancer twice. The last time was in 2023.
I have had a few health scares since and have been mentioning grumbling niggling pains under my right ribs for a while.
Always worried about mets so I had a CT in May 2024. Mildly fatty liver but all good apart from that. My bilirubin has gone up and down for 10 years so I’ve been told I have Gilbert’s Syndrome by a liver consultant. It was 45 in May when I had the CT.
My bilirubin has been 15 from August 2024 to Feb 2025 when it went up to 20.
I had an ultrasound November 2024. All fine
Had 2 ultrasounds end of Jan 2024. One radiographer said Mildly enlarged liver. The other said all is fine?! Bloods all within range.
Had bloods done last week - bilirubin 32 but conjugated bilirubin within range. All other liver function things were fine.
My breast surgeon said let’s get another ultrasound for reassurance so I did on Thursday.
The ultrasound report is brutal! it states - we cannot rule out early chronic liver disease. It talks about the walls of the liver being bumpy (sorry I don’t have the report so that’s the wrong terminology)
I do have niggly discomfort sometimes. But how on earth can a report go from being mildly enlarged liver by one radiographer and fine by another in January ….. to 2 months later a report like that?! I don’t understand. He has referred me for an MRI and I am TERRIFIED!
I’m not overweight. I take Letrozole for breast. I probably drink more than I should at weekends but not loads and 2 bottles of lager another night a week.
I’m scared of what they will find. And so confused.
I’m frightened to eat and certainly not drinking. Why would it change so fast? Could he be wrong? But I do have pains.
