Suspected Metastasis of the liver

Offline Meeshsalts over 4 years ago

Can someone please advise on their interpretation of the following on my radiology report.

Multiple ill-defined bilobar liver lesions of varying size,

highly suspicious for a metastasis.

Until I have a biopsy I am totally in the dark.

Thanks

Metastasis is when cancer cells have broken away from the primary tumour, entered the blood stream and seeded elsewhere in the body. So using your post as an example, it is now in the liver. Or at least it's suspected.

Yes I understand that . It's more the comment highly suspicious that alarms me.
To me this indicated they are 80% think I have it and it is not benign, I know I will only find out the truth when they take the biopsy
