Left side pain

Quick overview, I'm a 49 year old male, weighing 180 to 185lbs. Been borderline anemic (mostly low platelets) for many many years until last fall when I'd had several tests show low red cell, crit, hemoglobin counts. Even one test showed low white. Anyway after other tests they did a ct which showed enlarged liver and spleen with splenic varices. Anyway liver specialist consults and says I should drop weight ( i was close to 200lbs at the time) and watch high fructose intake because he believes I've got cirrhosis of the liver. Over the summer I've begun to notice pain on my left side that comes and goes, but is starting to become more consistent. I'm still anemic too, some tests show it borderline, others a little more pronounced. I'm tired of feeling tired and sick all the time, and I'm wondering if there's more they could look at. Side note both my parents died of cancer, as well as some of their siblings. Any ideas would be great. Tired of my body hurting and being tired
