Has anyone else suffered with haemangiomas?
These little vesicles are harmless sacs with a high concentration of blood vessels in them.
I have 2 and my CT scan showed them clearly as grey blobs. The Radiologist measured them they are 1.2cm and 4mm each.
Has anyone else had these and did they turn out to be anything significant?
I am wondering if mine have been classed as benign when in fact they are cancerous nodules in my liver.
Very worried.
If you have this please let me know what treatment was offered.

Hi, am in exactly the same position. Had MRI yesterday. Tumour in bowel, CT showed "indeterminate lesion' on liver. Consultant said could be benign but they can't assume anything hence MRI. I think, as Court says, this is pretty standard, though certainly ramps up the anxiety! Am looking at the positives, they are being so thorough, which is better than missing anything. Good luck xx
My Radiologist friend says there are now 5 of these lesions on my liver.
3 were seen before my op on 15/10 when I had a CT scan and were reported as haemangiomas. Now there are 2 more.
Seems like it's going to be metastases.
I am feeling devastated already and not had MRI yet.
Hi Cheekkat

I think you can get more than one at any time .
But I do understand your concern and why it’s causing additional stress .
Are the other ones tiny ?

Am so sorry to hear this, it sounds very difficult. I hope you are not left just hanging with this too long and get to see your consultant for a plan. I don't have experience of liver mets but have read stories of them being treated, either via surgery or shrunk via chemotherapy xx
