3.2cm liver lesion found with ultrasound

Hi. I'm 45 years old and I've just been told yesterday that a lesion has been found on my liver. I've now got a hospital appointmnet with the gastric department in two days time. I have quite a bit of discomfort in my abdomen but no other symptoms. I'm so very worried about the diagnosis and prognosis. It sounds like a cliche, but you really never believe that these things can actually happen to you.

I'd really like to hear from anyone out there who is experiencing anything similar.

  • Hi

    I'm sorry to hear what you're going through.

    The same thing has just happened to me. I'm also 45 years old. Went for an ultrasound today and apparently  there's a 2cm legion on my liver. There is also a 3cm one on my adrenal glands.  I was told a report had been sent to my dr and I must speak to them urgently. He called at 6.30 to say he was arranging a CT scan for Monday. I have no liver symptoms and blood tests for full blood count, liver function etc are fine. I do have symptoms of an adrenal tumour however. I'm so worried it's malignant and spread to my liver. 
    The waiting is the worst part. 
     

  • Hi, 

    I'm so sorry to hear that. It's all so worrying.

    The doctor told me that they hadn't found anything else on the scan and that my liver function results were normal. I have, however, got a lot of discomfort in my abdomen and i have little appetite and do generally feel unwell. We were initially looking at the possibility of a stomach ulcer but the h pylori test came back negative. I have read that you can have a negative result but still have an ulcer though. I'm hoping so much that the symptoms i am experiencing are from an ulcer and that my lesion is simply benign.

    It's just so terrifying. I can think of little else day and night. You are right that the waiting is very difficult. We will both hopefully know more on Monday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us. Please feel free to message back anytime. Your response made me feel less alone in this.

    Take care.

  • Hi how's it going? Have you had any results yet?

    I've still not heard anything and no idea when I will. The waiting is so stressful...

    Fingers crossed we'll both have a good answer soon. 

  • Hi. I've had an ok day today. First day in a while that I've had no symptoms.

    I've not heard anything yet. I was told I would hear something this week so hopefully I'll get some news tomorrow or Friday. The waiting is the worst part. Hope you're managing to stay positive. Hopefully we'll both get some positive news soon.

  • I'm glad you've had a better day without bad symptoms. Hopefully it'll stay that way. Fingers crossed we both hear soon and get a stress free weekend.. 

  • Still getting stressed! How are you? Have you heard anything? 

  • Me too! This waiting is so tough. I've not heard anything yet. I was told i should hear something this week so I guess I'll get a phone call today.

    I feel like I can't remember a time when I didn't have any of this to worry about. Hoping that we both get some news soon....

     

  • Morning. How are you getting on? Did you hear anything yesterday? 
     

     

  • Morning, didn't hear anything. I'm just hoping that means I'm not a priority.

    How are you doing? Did you hear anything yesterday?

  • That's bad that the wait continues for you. I would think you're right and you're not a priority. In a good way!!

    I got a call from a dr who confirmed I have an "adenoma" on my adrenal gland and multiple ones in my liver. They think they're all benign but can't be certain. They also can't be certain if they're connected... which would mean they are benign. I stupidly googled them..

    He only had the MRI results and it wasn't his department!

    Apparently it will be discussed at a meeting at some stage next week... so I keep waiting as well! 

    Hope your weekend isn't too stressful. 

  • Sorry should have said they are not benign if they connected. It would mean the adrenal one had spread.
