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 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.

Hi. How are things with you?

Hi sorry for late reply. 
Ive just seems your other message. That's brilliant that it doesn't need treatment. Any news on your other symptoms?

Im doing ok. Finally spoke to a dr last night. This weeks scans appear to show the liver lesions aren't connected to my adrenal gland but they don't know what they are! The dr thinks they're benign and will continue to monitor them. There is an "active " tumour on my adrenal gland which they will remove. I can't believe I'm actually pleased about this! It's been such a stressful month. They're trying to get me in a surgery list next week but obviously the NHS is chaotic at the moment. I'll hear Saturday if there's any news...

I wanted to thank you for being supportive through all of this. It's been good to talk to someone who's feeling the same and understands. I know I've still got a long way to go but at least I know what I'm dealing with now and it hasn't spread. Thank you    
 

Morning.

I'm so pleased that you have finally seen someone and that you have got some answers. It's sometimes the not knowing and lack of info that causes a lot more anxiety and stress. Good to hear you sounding more positive and hopeful too. I'm so pleased for you!

Hopefully it will be a case of having the op and getting confirmation that the lesions are benign and you can start getting back to some sort of normality!

I hope you hear something today re the op  - keep me posted. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you - as usual!

You're welcome re the support. I feel exactly the same. It has made a world of difference messaging someone who is feeling the same emotions and you've been a real source of comfort to me too.

Keep me posted about your operation.

Hi. How are you doing?

Hi. I'm doing ok. How are you? Have you heard any more on the cause of your others symptoms?

It was confirmed by a liver specialist yesterday that whatever's in my liver looks benign. Im so relieved. 
I don't have a date for surgery as they really can't tell what's going to happen which is fair enough given the world at the moment! The hospital yes to was very strange. Security in the door and hardly anyone in the out patients department. 
 

I hope you're keeping well 

Hi, 

No I've not heard any more. I'm due to go back and see the consultant but I'm not expecting to hear anything soon with everything going on.

So pleased you found out that whatever is in your liver is benign. You must be massively relieved!

Hope you get sorted with your op in due course.

Stay safe and take care 

Hi. How's things?

Have you heard anything about your op? How are you finding the lockdown?

Hi. How's things?

Have you heard anything about your op? How are you finding the lockdown?

Morning!

I've not heard anything yet. I think it'll be at least a month. Probably more when things calm down. 
How are you? 
 

I'm actually finding being at home ok. I thought it would be stressful but it's quite nice. I've got two small children who probably aren't learning anywhere near what they should but they seem to be having fun! How are you finding it? 

Hi

I'm doing ok thanks. Not had any untoward symptoms for a while which is good!

I know what you mean about the lockdown not being as bad as it sounds! I'm currently working from home but I only do part time hours which is good. Gives me time to catch up on jobs that should have been done long ago!

I've not got any children but I do have a dog! Enjoying the nice, long once a day walks with him. 

Trying to do as much as I can to stay safe. It's all a bit surreal but we're all in same situation so I'm sure we'll get through it fine!

Take care x

I went to hospital with a gastric attack nearly a week ago. It calmed down overnight, I am anaemic otherwise no infectionin blood or urine and tumour marker test ok. Given CT Scan. "All fine except" for a 3.5cm liver lesion. Waiting to hear if they want me to have MRI &/or Endoscopy. Very nervous about outcome and also because I am very claustrophobic 

Hi. Sorry to hear that. I hope I can reassure you a bit. I have a lesion which turned out to be a benign focal modular hyperplasia which is nothing to worry about at all. I also had an Mri which I was dreading as I also don't like confined spaces. I told the nurses when I had my mri done and they were brilliant. They put me in feet first and very very slowly moved me in and most of my head was outside the scanner. I hope everything will be ok. A lesion isn't always something sinister. Best wishes to you

Hi. How are you doing? 

Hi,

I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing?

Hope you're doing ok :-)

Hi. How are you doing? 
 

I'm doing ok. I had surgery a month ago to remove my adrenal tumour. I haven't had any results back yet but I'm feeling better already. Hopefully I'll know what they removed soon....

Have you had any more follow ups? Hope alls ok. 

Hi.

Pleased to hear you're doing ok. That sounds promising that you're feeling better since your operation. Hopefully it'll be good news.

I'm ok thanks. Obviously things for me came to a standstill with all that's gone on (which is understandable!). I have a telephone appt with the consultant in August. I've not been too bad so it should be just a case of informing him and probably nothing more.

Hope you hear some good news about the tumour that was removed. Let me know how to get on.
