So i had my private pay MRI last week. 4 weeks after the CT scan [that took a year to get] and 2 weeks after the ultrasound that was supposed to "confirm it is just a cyst" [it didn't]

Results were sadly still inconclusive, though did suggest mostly like a "resolving hematoma" [even though i have had no recent blunt force trauma to my rib area!] with a differential diagnosis of possibly paracystic cyst [v unlikely] or "purely cystic mucinous at the carcinoma metastasis" , Also didn't look like typical benign cyst or HCC. 

its not round. its 4cm x 3 cm x 1/5cm in 7th section. looks l little like ET , or a squashed kidney bean. I have some side pain in the region. Rest of the liver looks fine. Just a weird black blobby thing hangin out in my liver.

Get an other scan in 3 months is the recommendation.

Of course i cant guarantee i can GET another scan in 3 months,, current wait lists in public sector are 3-6months. I could pay again myself i suppose, but really don't feel like dropping another $1300 CAD on it. Even if i did, i have no idea how i would then get it sent to a specialist to deal with whatever the heck it is!!

So there that. No real advise on who to do in the interim about pain management, or what will happen if it has changed. No specialist looking at it as far as i know.

I wish i was like an F1 driver earning 45 Mil a year. I bet they would have the mystery "solved" in under 48 hrs!

good times.

[ps- i am in Canada.. UK has the best forums for all things medical. I learned that while recovering from Long Haul Covid from 2020-2024. Early on Uk was literally years ahead of North American on treatments! Also, i was born in Sussex, so i kinda feel like UK is home!]
