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.

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. 

I suppose it's good that you're a little further forward with your diagnosis and that the initial info isn't as bad as it could have been? Hopefully they're all benign.

It's tough you're still waiting again for more details. The drip-feed of info must be so frustrating for you.

I hope you manage to have a relaxing weekend as possible and please try to stay positive. It really might turn out to be nothing too serious.

I'm going to try and chill this weekend too. 

Feel free to message me anytime.

Take care x

Hi. How's your day been? Hope you're doing ok

Hi. How are you doing? Have you heard anything as yet?

Hi

No I've not heard anything else. You? 

No. Not heard anything. I chased my mri results today but I think there's a backlog. Was told to call again mid-week.

Hope you're doing ok despite the waiting. It's officially getting on my nerves now. It's tough to worry for this long!

That's dreadful! Poor you. I can't believe they can do this to people. The stress is unbearable. I would see it as a good sign it's nothing urgent though.

Im doing ok  just stressed at the lack of information or anyone to speak to. I guess we just have to keep waiting...

You take care. Hopefully we'll hear something soon.

Maybe it's a good sign for you too and it's therefore not urgent.

Hoping so.....

Hi how are you getting on? Have you heard anything yet? 
I've got another scan booked next week so the waiting continues. 
Hope alls good with you? 

Hi,

Oh no. More waiting. How come you're having another scan? You must be getting sick of waiting - me too.

I called the consultants secretary today and she said that my results will be sent tomorrow apparently and that i can call her back on Friday for info. Lools like i should get some information this week.

At the same time I hope I get some info I also don't want to know if it's anything too bad. I've got quite used to burying  my head in the sand these last few days!

Hi sorry for long delays in replying. My phone / internet seem to have gone mad!

It sounds promising if they still haven't got your results. There must be a fast track procedure if they're bad .

I know what you mean about not wanting to know. I wish it would all go away. 
 

Im having a nuclear scan to see if what's in my liver is connected to adrenal gland. But again this was requested before the MRI was done so I really don't know what's going on. 
 

Good  luck for tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. 

Hi,

I have finally had some news. The consultant's secretary was able to let me know that the mri scans show nothing to be concerned about. My consultant will be sending a letter so I'll know more info then. I'm also going to a pre-booked appt at the Drs this afternoon so she may be able to give me more details. I suspect we can now see what the lesion actually is on my liver and look into my gastric problems. I'm sort of hoping it's an hemangioma that's pressing onto my stomach. That would be a  easier option. Either way, it's a huge relief to know it's nothing sinister. 

I hope you find out some more info soon. Maybe see if you can call nd chase up more info? The waiting is really tough so I hope you don't have to wait much longer. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I just wanted to let you know just how much of a comfort it's been to message someone who is going through a similar experience. It really has helped an awful lot so I just wanted to say thanks so much.

Please keep in touch and let me know how you get on. X

That's such brilliant news. I'm so pleased for you. And the waiting is finally over. Hope you're celebrating?!

Im no further on. A dr called me yesterday to say she really didn't know if my liver was secondary cancer or not and "I'd have to wait and see". She also said she has now referred me to a different hospital and they'll take over. So I don't even have anyone to contact! I've been prescribed pills to lower my blood pressure (which has never been high?!) and they're making me feel truly awful. Hopefully next week will be better. 
 

thank you for your kind words. The same to you. It's so much easier to talk to someone in the same position who understands. X

Thank you. Yes, I've been celebrating! They will probably do a biopsy etc but I'm ok with that.

I can't believe you have been moved on and have no contact. I hope you are able to stay positive despite these unnecessary obstacles. I hope you are doing ok. Please let me know how you get on x

Hi, 

How are things? Been thinking about you and hope you're doing ok x

Hi. How are you doing? Are you ok?

Hi I'm ok. Still stressed from the unknown! I'm having further scans today so hopefully I might know more soon. I've still not seen a dr though!
 
how are you getting on? Have you got further information on what's happening with you?

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. How were your scans? Hope all went well and you get some info soon!

I'm ok thanks. Got a letter today confirming that i have a focal nodular  hyperplasia which doesn't need any treatment. I do need to go back to see the consultant to discuss it but other than that all is ok.

I hope you get some information soon and that it's good news. Keep me updated. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
