4cm Shadow found on Liver and I’m pregnant

I am a 35 year old woman who is 26 weeks pregnant. Last week I had a radiology appointment in which they found a shadow about 4cm on my liver. They called me straight back to the hospital within a couple of hours for blood to be taken, obvs done etc. I am now awaiting an MRI scan (I am unable to have at CT scan due to being pregnant).

I had my gallbladder removed 6/7 years ago so I know it has no links to that. 

I am really worried and not knowing anymore until results are back from the tests and the MRI (which I am awaiting the appointment) is so painful... and I'm extra emotional!

if anyone else has been through/going through the same, I'd love to hear how you cope during the waiting period, the uncertainty of what lies ahead has my mind buzzing.

thanks in advance guys x

  • Hi Mollie and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the shadow that has been found on your liver and for the worry and stress this is causing at what should be a very exciting time in your life.

    Our members know just how tough this period of waiting for tests and results can be so you are not alone and I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and advice.

    I hope this article on how to cope with waiting for news will be helpful as well but in the meantime, we're thinking of you Mollie and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
