@renesbaby19 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. In this community based forum, we’re not medical professionals so we can’t diagnose health problems or prescribe treatments. We’re members just like you who share personal experiences and insights to help find answers, give suggestions and offer encouragement.
Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through and not finding answers. Living with this level of stress and discomfort daily sure takes a toll on your mental health as well.
When was the last time you’ve been checked by your doctor? Have you had recent blood work? A complete blood count can reveal quite a bit about underlying blood health and infection.
I guess I don’t understand why a biopsy of your spleen hasn’t been done to rule out cancer. Having a known cyst on your spleen with increased size warrants further investigation. An enlarged spleen can be a cause of increased infections such as you’re having.
Do you have an option of finding another medical facility. Preferably a larger medical clinic or teaching hospital? Are you near a Mayo Clinic location in Minnesota, Arizona or Florida? I’d really suggest having a second opinion for your peace of mind and to help you get healthy!
I’m posting to a link on Mayo Clinic’s website regarding an enlarged spleen. Not to frighten you, but to give you information that you can use to discuss this with your doctor.
Will you consider a second opinion?

I was told that they couldn't do a biopsy because of all the veins and vessel in your spleen it could cause me to bleed out. I went to the surgeon today July 6th 21. They still given me the run around. And I live in VA the hospital I go to is a teaching hospital they use to be the best but not so sure now and would love a second opinion. Also no one has told me that it is enlarged. Did you get that from what my symptoms are?
