Blood test results

I don’t know about the cancer side of it but I’ve recently had investigations for raised liver function tests. It turns out that I have a benign cyst in my liver which is “irritating” it but I don’t need any treatment as it’s harmless. Hope you get a good result from your investigations.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I had breast cancer 23 years ago so any mention of cancer sends me off into an overthinking spiral, if you know what I mean!

A SIL of mine works in the cancer research industry and his professors have had a campaign running since Covid for medical professionals to err on the side of caution if cancer is even slightly possible.
The reason being that speed is of the essence for a successful outcome. Also, they were concerned that widespread use of sanitizing products during Covid would mean a possible rise in cancer in the future, especially amongst children.
Sounds like many GP's are taking this on board. Good luck with your tests. I wish you all the very best.

No advice, but please be comforted by the fact that my DH has had three “cancer pathway” appointments in the last 18 months, all of which were negative.

I think sometimes it’s a way for the GP to hurry things along just in case.

Fingers crossed for you 🙏

It is frightening, I know. In my own, not exactly the same, but similar, case, the appointments for the test are really quick, within days, in my case, so there is not a long time to worry.
These tests are to rule out cancer, and more often than not they do rule it out and you can stop worrying.
in the rare cases that cancer is found, treatment is so much more effective these days.
Be king to yourself while you wait.
