Doctors/nurses can you help to explain my diagnoses?!
Question: Doctors/nurses can you help to explain my diagnoses?
The letter I got today was regarding the CT scan I had in the meantime. There's no mention of my gall bladder, but it says that the CT showed three other things:
A cyst on my right ovary
Enlarged lymph glands on small bowel and lower right abdomen
A normal pancreas, but blood tests and urinalysis showed other wise.
I am scared and worried but have little knowledge of what all this means. Could anybody explain firther? Maybe explain what might have caused these, or what can be done to cure them? Any info helps, thank you so much if you help me.
Answers:
I am not a doctor or a nurse but if you don't mind a paramedic giving you reasons, I will continue.
The thickening of the gall bladder, the cyst on your ovary and your enlarged lymph glands could be hereditary and also the cyst could have developed due to your enlarged lymph gland.
Your pancreas could be normal but the blood test and urinalysis could have detected more sugar in your blood then normal so it could just be you have consumed an excess of sugar before you got your blood tests.
Please do not be alarmed until further tests indicate something more serious.
Good luck!
