Worried

Posted , 2 users are following.

I had a CT scan Friday showing an enlarged liver and spleen.

Lymph node in my lung.

It also showed fecal rentention.

Is there anyway this could be mistaken and is actually a tumor?!

I have IBS with diarrhea and never get conspitation. So I am puzzled as to why it would say rentention.

I also had an ultrasound on my groin last month showing a 2cm lymph node there as well.

Should I be pressing for my testing?!

    I’m going to need more background.

    How old are you? Male or Female?

    Why was the scan done and was it CT Chest-Abdo-Pelvis.

    Which doctor organised this scan?

    Have you suffered any fevers, night sweats or weight loss?

      26, female!

      3 months of extreme fatigue and fevers as well as a lymph node in my groin and right leg pain.

      They first ultrasounded the groin verifying the lymph node.

      I waited a month and came back in still feeling horrible and started with RUQ pain. Liver felt enlarged in palpitation.

      They ordered blood work that is pending and sent me for a scan

      Which showed the above post stuff.

      My spleen when from 10 to 12

      And my liver from 14 to -5.3

      I have had bowel issues for a few years with IBS which is why I'm wondering why it would say rentention. And could that actually be something else
