3 cm liver lesion: I'm beyond terrified

Posted by sonyahamel @sonyahamel, Apr 29, 2023

A 3cm lesion was found on my liver during a ct angiogram. I am beyond terrified! It was suggested I go for a ct scan of my liver. I am close to canceling it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Digestive Health Support Group.

I am in the same boat they found a 3.6 cm mass on my liver I am freaking out never had 1 symptom.
also they could not tell me much until I have a mri with contrast I am scared this is what they said after CT scan without contrast
Nodular cirrhotic appearance of the liver with ill-defined hypodense mass in the right hepatic lobe
measuring up to 3.6 cm; recommend MRI abdomen with and without contrast for further evaluation.

@phyzman: so sorry you learned your scan results show liver irregularities. It is human to feel this anxiety now. You can research “Liver” in Mayo Connect “search” to review the many posts from our peers who discovered liver cancer. This info will answer many of your questions.
You are not alone! Many of us are living with liver metastases stemming from cancer in other organs. My best thoughts are with you.

Most of these findings are incidental and benign. Request feedback from your
doctor and finish the testing.
