@aminaahmoody1 thank you for your encouragement, and no need to apologize for "venting." In all honesty it feels much more difficult these days to be a well informed patient than it used to be. I am unable to secure and earlier appointment, and because of this I have decided to more or less try not to "overthink" what might be going on with my liver/pancreas. I saw my doctor yesterday and was dismayed that he could not explain to me the results of many of my recent lab tests, instead telling me that he had made a referral to a hematologist, and an appointment with that specialist could take "awhile." I understand your feeling like a "lab rat" and I would think twice about becoming part of a clinical trial. You have enough to deal with already, especially since you have a family, including children.
I hope your appointment today goes well. I will be thinking of you.
With respect to my patience, admittedly it is running out. Best of luck to you and thank you again for the post
