@vickysampson1989 Please don't panic. I believe that the doctor really doesn't know. To my knowledge, an MRI with contrast is the best way to see a HCC. Though difficult, you can't let the fear of the unknown control you. Like I mentioned, it is a process. You have to commit to every step of the process. That is all that you can control. You have already done a great job. You did your home work. You are here. You asked informed questions. You are preparing for the next steps. Don't beat yourself up. The process does a pretty good job of that all by itself ok?

You are the boss of your body. Moving forward, I suggest that you prepare interview questions for the care team that you've hired to diagnose you. Focus on that. Folks here can help. We've been there. Do you think that you can do that long enough to at least take a few deep breaths?
