    hello hannah

    so sorry to hear you are going through this worry

    I to suffer with health anxiety (my fear is always cancer)

    last year I had some routine blood tests, which like you I had to repeat to to my liver enzymes being raised. I was convinced I had some sort of cancer , I has scans on my liver etc which were all fine , although my bloods were still high.

    Ayer a few months they went back to normal (after several months of constant worry) it waa due to me having a baby a few months before and it effected my liver enzymes apparently

    I'm sure it's something very simple that they are retesting for. if they suspecre anything serious I'm sure they would inform you

    I know how always Health anxiety can be. it impacts daily life. thankfully mine has calmed calmed a lot but this time last year it was always. I just want you to know you're not alone and you can send me a private message if you would like a chat.

    my fear was always usually lukemina of lymphoma. I was fixated on them and I would imagine I had symptons that were not actually there
