Small bilateral millimetric liver cysts?

Hi 

Sometimes the medical jargon can cause lots of confusion I find. This doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about - it is part of the NICE guidelines that any incidental cysts seen on scans need to be reported too. My Mum had similar that was mentioned on her notes but no further action was needed. If it needed further investigation then they would have organised further tests etc

But still worth bringing up with your oncologist for peace of mind anyway. 

Thank you so much! I do have faith in the specialist teams as they have all been so good, but they don’t explain everything to us and when you see words like cysts referring to organs I naturally worry as to why it’s mentioned. My husband is 55 so I guess it’s normal to have a couple of cysts on the liver at that age. Thanks for your help and I hope your mum is ok xx

I think they can tell by the shape too ! I think cysts can look quite different ! They frequently do MRi s to be on the very safe side ! Cancer patients get gold star scanning ! I do feel for them though as it can be an anxiety spike but many people go through this with the liver just to officially rule them out !

Totally agree with you , as we hit our 50s there has got to be things inside as there are outside !

Have a good day !
