Indeterminate Liver Lesion

Hello,

This is my first time posting here, and I'm seeking some words of wisdom or reassurance. Recently, my partner had slightly elevated ALT levels, which led to a routine ultrasound. The ultrasound revealed a 3.2 cm indeterminate, solid lesion on his liver. All his other tests came back normal, and the ultrasound didn't show any other abnormalities. He is now on an urgent two-week referral for additional cross-sectional imaging, with a consultation scheduled for Wednesday, July 24th.

It's also worth noting that he has a fatty liver, but generally, he is very healthy and fit, regularly monitoring his health without any prior concerns. Has anyone had a similar experience? Apologies if this isn't the right place to post, but I am incredibly worried and can't eat or sleep since receiving this news.

Thank you in advance.



  • Oh that is fantastic news, I am so pleased for you both!

    You can finally relax and both get on with living your lives again, without the worry hanging over you.

    All the best

  • Hello Annie,

    How are you? How is your recovery going?

    I am thinking about you and truly hope you got your answers and it was also a positive outcome. 

    All the best.

  • Hi Justyna

    I am plodding along thanks, still cannot believe how sore I am inside.  I am 4 weeks post-op today, hubby says that I have improved alot, I guess I am just impatient.  However, I dont think that anything is wrong, it just takes time to heal, I was told it could be 3 months before I recover fully.

    Still no news whether it was malignant or benign, I am waiting for my follow up appointment (they did say between 4-6 weeks).  However, I am still fairly upbeat and quite confident it will be ok.  The main thing is that it has been removed, even if it turns out to be cancer, for a primary tumor that is the desired first treatment if possible.

    Now, as happy as I am that you have checked in on me, you need to be enjoying your lives now that you dont have that worry hanging over you, not checking into a cancer forum!  :-)

    Go and have some fun!

    All the best

  • Hi Justyna

    Just a quick update for you and anyone that may look at this thread in the future, looking for answers and hope regarding liver tumours / lesions. 

    After a very long 8 weeks after surgery, I have just had my results that my tumour was also a benign one!

    So I can also breathe again and move forward with my life too.

    All the best for you and your partner.

  • Dear Annie,

    I am so happy to read your update, it’s been a long way! It must have been such a relief after so many months of waiting.

    Now you can finally think of other things, I bet your husband is also extremely happy with the outcome.

    Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for being a great support for me, your words of wisdom helped me a lot in my darkest days.
