@lindakay55. Been noticing that, ready to call oncology, upper abdomen feels "crowded". I'm wondering why they can't ultrasound the liver and pancreas periodically to monitor size. Just proding for pain every three months seems relatively primitive.

@maine yeah, I agree. Is it related to PV and if so, how?

@maine It could be an enlarged spleen? That’s something most of us get eventually sadly. My husband has had an enlarged spleen for over 20 years from liver issues so it won’t kill us just another annoyance 😞
