Liver spots

homeschool

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this!

There are many woman onthis website that have benign spots on their liver and lungs. It does appear that these organs love to grow little benign spots. I have one on my lung that has been looked at for the last 2 years with no change. Usually they will scan you for 2 years and if there is no change the it is considered benign. Are you allowed to do an mri while pregnant?

You are in my thoughts. Hugs

I guess they are protecting the baby which makes sense. Again, I am sorry that you have to deal with this, especially while you are expecting! It seems so unfair.

Also it is reassuring that your Dr said they find this stuff all the time. My Dr told me the same thing about my lung nodule and there has been no change for two years.

Hopefully more people will chime in with their experiences.

Hugs to you.

I have a lot of cysts in my liver, as well as a hemangioma, all benign findings. Never knew I had them until I had a ct scan. There seem to be lots of things that can grow in our bodies that we never know about that are totally benign. And your other tests and bloodwork were fine! Eight children and one on the way! You have your hands full. Saying a prayer that those spots turn out to be nothing, that you have an easy recovery, an easy pregnancy, and peace of mind!

I had to have an emergency CT scan before my mastectomy because an ultrasound showed spots......cysts actually....19+ worth of them and one on my kidney. CT scans show up at least 5 different potential problems that turn out benign (saw this on Doctor House lol!) but oncologist said same thing. Hoping you do well every which way!!!(((HUGS))))

Hi all! I am 51 years old and diagnosed with invasive tubular carcinoma grade 1 and 1.7cm in size. I have had a mastectomy of my right breast, and four of my lymph nodes tested were clear. I am currently taking tamoxifen. During my breast MRI the radiologist saw a lesion on my liver and requested an ultrasound. After the ultrasound the radiologist requested an MRI and in two weeks I am having an MRI of my liver. Does anyone know the likelihood of this lesion on my liver being cancer?

hello the doctor just saw liver spots on me after having an cat scan. I was wondering how you made out and how you are doing.

let's hope! I had pain on my right side for about a month now. Pain was about a 3 out of ten. Did a scan and found little lesions on my liver and one on my spine. Going in on Wednesday for a abdominal and bone scan. Let's hope for nothing serious, but who knows. Did you ever have pain on your side? How did you no that you had lesions? Anxious for Wednesday to com

Yes please don't worry about it! You are HER2+ and even IF it was trouble H&P would melt it away. There is a group of us who had liver spots and which were confirmed mets on biopsy, the lesions have completely disappeared after the treatment you are getting! Good luck with that new sweet baby and thank goodness you are ER, PR- and HER+ there is good treatment and you baby will do well. Hugs to you

In April of 2017 I was diagnosed with stage III ILC, and I was told that I probably had it for at least 3 years. I was in shock because I have gone to my annual mammogram appointments like clockwork for more than a decade...then I was informed that ILC doesn't even show up on a mammogram. Further testing revealed that my 1st diagnosis of a pencil eraser sized tumor was far from the truth...and that I had multiple " tumors " of various sizes in my right breast. I never had any symptoms of breast cancer whatsoever and was told that even though I had one healthy breast that I would eventually develop ILC in that breast as well. I had numerous ultrasounds, biopsies, CAT scans, a PET scan, a bone scan, and an MRI. My husband and I opted for me to have a bilateral mastectomy as we thought that would give us the best chance of me being cancer free. During surgery 27 out of 27 lymph nodes on my right side were full of cancer. So after healing from surgery I had 5 months of chemo...4 rounds of Adriamyacin/Cytoxin ( the red devil ) and then 12 rounds of taxol. Due to severe bone pain my oncologist reduced my taxol dosage by 25%...why couldn't he just give me some stronger pain meds instead? He said if Tylenol didn't help that he had no other option and that Dr's were being watched as far as prescribing narcotics. Even for surgery and chemo side effects! So all along I mentioned my concerns that I would never be cured because I didn't get my full dose. I was told not to worry because it is the standard, and then I was also placed on a hormone blocker called Femara. Fast forward to my 5 weeks of radiation...my radiation onc said even though I was diagnosed with stage III cancer that I was on the very high end of that and they had to throw everything they had at me to try and save me...I suffered through the rashes and infected blisters to finish my whole treatment. So now last week I had a scheduled CAT scan that I was told was routine, and they are seeing a spot on my liver. There was no mention of that before my surgery and I had a lot of tests...now I am told " oh it's small so don't worry about it, and we will do another CAT scan in 6 months ". Who in their right mind wouldn't be worried at this point? I am actually offended that he even said that to me. Has anyone else had a similar experience and how were you able to insist that further testing be done on your new " spot "?

Thank you Diane! I am so glad to hear your sister is doing well...and I am a worrier by nature too. I am going to contact my chemo onc in the morning and let him know how I feel...and that they can't truly expect me to wait for another scan in six months! The other thing that annoys me is that I am the one who had to ask about the results of my CAT scans...twice!

Diane you are so right...even though we all have to rely / depend on our oncologists we do have to be our own advocates. Why shouldn’t each one of us be a priority?! I have to have my port flushed in a few weeks and I am going to insist that my chemo onc makes time for me and has a plan!And I know this is trivial but my eyelashes and brows fell out after chemo...my brows were always a little bit sparse but I had nice full lashes...they sterted growing back...not long and thick like they used to be but at least it was something...now my lashes are falling out again...I am super bummed.
