Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...MY mother was diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis, spleinic vein thrombosis, and gastric varacies. Her female cancer markers are up in the 400 range, and she has type 2 diabetes. She has seen a number of doctors and had many tests. Her next test is a petscan after she can get her blood sugar levels down to a good number. Would it be a good idea for her to see a vascular surgeon for the portal vein and spleenic vein thrombosis. They only seem focused on the cancer. The blood cancer doctor seems concerned about the varacies, etc., but her practitioner is going too slow. She left her internal medicine doctor about 10 months ago. The doctor had personal problems effecting her performance as a doctor. I keep telling my mother to go to a doctor specializing in diabetes also. She is also a very high strung worry wart and drinks coffee and coffee creamer and most of her life has had a bad diet. She lost a lot of weight, down to 107, but finally got on one shot of insulin a day to help somewhat stabalize her diabetes. She has been on pills for her diabetes for I believe around 8 years, but has had stomach problems ever since she got her gall bladder removed when she was around 33 years old. She is 74 years old and also has had diverticulosis and diverticulitis. That has been in remission for a while. She still has a metal clip from the surgery on the gallbladder inside. I will totally understand if you don t respond to this very complicated case!!! Thanks if you do!!!
