  • Hi,

    I am going through something similar, this has en experience so far:

     - in late march I had bloods, ultrasound and CT for suspected gallbladder stones - they did find some small stones but also what they thought was a cyst in my liver.

    I then had an MRI (start of May)  which suggested the mass was not a cyst but they needed more info (until then I had been using private health insurance) the consultant then did a 2ww referral into the NHS. 

    I then had more bloods (for tumour markers - all normal), a CT with a different contrast and an MRI with primovist 

    My case was referred to the multi disciplinary team - who discussd it after the CT and bloods and said they couldn't diagnose until they got the MRI results. 

    Unfortumately the backlog with MRI meant it took 5 weeks rather than 2 - I had it June 15th

    Unfortunaterly the MRI results didn't give them the information they needed t omake a diagnosis so they recommended liver biopsy which i had on Friday ( I was on holiday for 2 weeks before the biopsy).

    I am now waiting on my results from it to determine if this lesion is benign or not.

    I hope you get an answer from CT/MRI.
