Enlarged liver??

Hi everyone,

I posted earlier under the topic "constantly feeling sick." I had been having pains in my upper abdomen and feeling tired. I finally went to my doctor and he sent me for a CT scan of my abdomen.

He called me back and said that my liver is enlarged. I have to get an ultrasound and see a GI specialist now. I had no idea what an enlarged liver meant, so I started researching it online a little. This was probably not a good idea because now I have freaked myself out with all the possibilities. And I have to wait over a week to even go for my ultrasound. It's going to drive me crazy!

Has anyone else ever had this?

Thanks!

I know it is difficult to stay calm, but worrying won't make the time go any faster. Hopefully whatever is causing this problem is just a fluke and will be gone by the time you go for that ultrasound!
