Well, a Christmas Eve treat, just when I thought I could maybe relax a bit!! Had CT scan Sunday, just had letter for Liver MRI on 8th Jan. Trying to keep balanced, good they are taking a closer look etc but am back to being v thrown. Had a good day too, best in a while and I feel OK! Best wishes to all xx
Hi Arial88
This often occurs . The liver can have cysts that are perfectly benign and they are inclined to do an MRI to rule them out rather than in . Or they may have had a poor image .
Kareno62 could tell you more .
When my mum was diagnosed with liver mets they did not bother with the MRI . It was pretty obvious from the scans .
But it does raise your anxiety for sure . Hopefully all will be well .

Hi Arial88 Yes as Court says I was in exactly the same situation. It turned out to be a haemangioma. These are harmless cysts which are very common and apparently most people go through the life none the wiser unless they have this sort of scan? There have been others on here in the same situation so try not to worry too much and distract yourself over the festive period
Take care
