@colleenyoung Thank you so much for welcoming me and for your quick response and encouraging words. I did not know that most liver lesions are benign or even common in those over 40, so that certainly gives me hope!
I have had generalized anxiety disorder since childhood, so it's difficult not to think about it or the possible outcomes, but I am doing my best and your knowledge and comments have certainly been a huge help. Thank you for tagging others with MCC experience and for just being here. I appreciate you so much!

Welcome Kate.
You have my sympathy as you go through this time in your life. I agree, that it is so hard to get control over the fear and anxiety, first after having the MCC diagnosis and treatments and now the spots on your liver. Colleen and the others have been very supportive and given helpful advice. I try to do the following.
Live one day at a time, maybe one hour at a time. If you feel good today, self talk that you are healthy and will live as if you are of full health. Pray and have faith, that God is with you and is holding you through your trials. I also thank God, as He has provided a way for me to receive ongoing care from a highly skilled team of doctors at Mayo in Rochester. I will pray for you and the other people in this post for healing. Thank you, Colleen for including me in this post.
