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.

I am a 18 year old female, overweight, never had a sip of alcohol or ever did any drugs, no known history of liver issues in family that I know of.

So in 2022 when I was 15 I was told I had 3 liver lesions sizes 3cm, 1.8cm , 1.1cm. The MRI was inconclusive they did not know the exact etiology so they didn’t know if it was benign or malignant. I then 5 months later got an ultrasound that showed two hyperechoic areas measuring 2.3x2.9x1.7cm and 2.3x2.2x2.6cm. Anyway my doctors didn’t ever show true concern but im worried now as im having mild shoulder pain and RUQ pain. Im worried sick ive been dealing with health anxiety due to this I feel like my life is ending bc of all the fear and most days I don’t wanna be here anymore because of this. It’s been 3 years since the findings I am 18 now and still here but im worried, since the lesions were found 3 years ago and im still here, does that mean anything??

Hi.... I would want to know .... have your PCP make you an appt for all that you'll need as far as tests go. (they seem to be able to have better luck getting sooner appts) You have every right to want to get it done ASAP. Even a lot (most) of these replies say... it's probably absolutely nothing to have to be worried over. Take care...Good luck. and God Bless!
