im not sure if this is liver cancer?

hello everyone my name is elissa and im currently a 19 year old female. iver been experiancing some problems with my abdominal area especially my right side. ever since my mono struck me it has gotten worse. i do have history of ibs so thats what i thougt it was and i went to a primary doctor and my gastroenterologist and even my obgyn. for months my primary doctor told me i was fine, ran a few blood tests and an xray and everything was fine. however, i went to my gastroenterologist and i told her my symptoms like bloating (really bad even after drinking water), constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal pain especially on my right side and back pain on the right side, fatigue and sometimes i have no appetite and cant eat cause of the bloating i literally look 6 months pregnant. so i had an ultrasound done and blood work and for the blood work i dont have enough of something for gluten im not sure what she meant because of what she told me, she found something in my gallbladder but no stones but what really freaked me out was she found a 9x9 cm lesion on my liver. my liver levels were ok but i highly am nervous. no one believed me about my pain but i definatly know my body and know if something is wrong. can anyone especially those who had cancer in the liver tell me if they had symptoms like this so i somewhat feel closure. i do have family history of cancer too and different types, my aunt had bone cancer and my grandma had cervical cancer and i believe my cousin had cancer in the kidneys. im scheduled to get my mri done thursday and she wants me to get a biopsy and endoscopy after my semester ends in about two and a half weeks. thank you so much!!!

  • Welcome to our forum, Elissa.

    I'm sorry to hear you are feeling poorly and understandably concerned about your health but I'm glad that you are being seen by your doctors.

    You mentioned you were to have an MRI done yesterday if I understood it correctly? How did it go?

    Hopefully, other members who have been in the same situation will come along shortly to share their stories with you and give advice, but until then feel free to phone our friendly team of cancer nurses and ask for their opinion. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope all goes well for you, Elissa. Once you know more come back if you find a moment and give us an update, we're thinking of you.

  • Hello thank you so much for getting back to me :). I recently got my results back from my mri today and they said that it was an adenoma tumor 9x9 cm on my liver and they said that it’s usually noncancerous and they also found a bosniak cyst on my left kidney. However they think it’s from abnormal hormones from my birth control (I have pcos) but I highly doubt that they can tell 100% if it’s noncancerous from a photo. I’m also a med student and I know that they won’t be able to tell 100% if it’s cancer or not from a biopsy of the lesion. I’m very angry and my symptoms seem to get worse and I’m just in shock I don’t know if any other liver cancer patients have gone through this cause I know that I’m going to have to have some sort of surgery to get it removed. Thank you so much for your reply it gives me closure and relief! 

  • What was the outcome? Hope you're well xx
