Cat scan on mum's liver found something suspicious. Going out of my mind with worry

My mother had a cat scan today and they say they found something suspicious. She has breast cancer. I am her son and am out of my mind with worry. They say she is going to have an mri tomorrow.

  • Hi James777, and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to learn that your mum has breast cancer and that she is waiting to have an MRI scan of her liver.

    Waiting for tests and test results can be stressful and cause anxiety, but unfortunately, until your mum has the scan, no one can say what the suspicious area is.

    All you can do is take things one step at a time.

    Hopefully, your mum does not have to wait too long for the results and you will have a better idea of her situation. In the meantime if you would like to talk things through with one of the nurses on the helpline, please feel free to give us a call. We are available between 9 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday and the freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040.

    Take care,

    Jemma
