High liver readings

[shotta287]

It will be a benign liver cyst. Extremely common and, as your doctor has already said, likely an incidental finding.

This is the problem with modern medical imaging - it’s really good at finding things which are likely benign, but need lots of follow up testing to prove they’re benign!

Its easy for me to say, I know, but don’t panic.

Thanks I’ve honestly been in in a terrible state mentally since the scan results came back. Woke up with vertigo this morning shows how worked up my body is at the moment.

I’m thinking that when I had my bloodwork done originally in April and then again last month, surely my overall health would have declined a lot in between if it was something sinister??

It’s not just your blood work that would go. People with liver cancer (whether it started in the liver or spread to the liver) are very ill indeed. You’d have far more extreme symptoms and you wouldn’t be wondering if you were sick, you’d know it.

If you don’t mind me asking, what age are you? (sorry if I’ve asked already)

Ok sorry I’ve just read back, you’re a 31 year old male

The chances of this being anything sinister are basically 0.

Thanks I’m trying to think logically but it’s so hard. My doctor sent the referral through to the liver specialist 3 weeks ago now and not heard anything yet. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.
