It's all complicated medical junk and I'm seeing another specialist soon and have another CT scan in 6 months. Worst case scenario is I have leukaemia or something, or she said we'd look at my bone marrow. That sounds awful.
I don't plan on telling my friends until more tests are done, but it's 130 in the morning and I can't sleep. And I'm kinda petrified of dying young. I'm hoping this will help me.
Thanks for listening.
edit: I hope this doesn't come off as a "look at me" post, I just haven't had a chance to talk to this with anyone yet and appreciate the chance to.

Just to maybe ease your mind a bit. I had what they thought was Kidney stones a few months ago and ended up in the hospital with tremendous pain. They did a bunch of tests (CT, Ultrasounds, bloodwork) and found a swollen lymph node and other areas around my left side. It was determined that it was an infection (not sure how I got it) and it was cleared up with antibiotics. Hopefully, it something simple like this for you.
