In my experience every time I read the latest scans summary, it's a day of new discovery. They point out different/new abdominal findings including the liver. For example: latest scan mentioned evidence of fatty liver disease and a hernia in my abdominal wall. I have no symptoms of either. Prior scan mentioned bone wear at spine, another mentioned a 20mm kidney stone. So the idea that you might have "low attenuation masses" in your liver is certainly similar. I would not worry about that until you have more info. There are 52 years of living on that body of yours and these scans will in a way, tell a story. Certainly can be eye opening though. I suspect your doctors will continue to be most concerned with your lung nets. Hoping you feel great!

Hello jlsgt,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. I certainly am feeling like the more they look at something, the more they find or note.. I am a little upset that if they were there six months ago on previous scan why it wasn't even noted in that report. It was a different radiologist who wrote that report however. I am trying hard not to "google" this thing to death between now and my MRI but if you knew me you would know I am not having much success with that. It helps in a way to have someone who may have been through something similar to give me some insight etc... makes this less lonely process I guess. I do think my doctors will keep an eye on my lung nodules because I am a former smoker. I had the CT scan six months ago as part of a low dose CT lung cancer screening program which my doctor said I will do annually until I am about 85 years old if I make it that long. Obviously I'd rather not have any lung nodules at all but I am told they are fairly common and can be nothing more than a "footprint" left behind from a previous infection or inflammation process. She said we continue surveillance but treat it as that unless something changes with them. Thank you for your comments I sure do appreciate it! Wishing you good health!
