I went to my final two appts. yesterday. I had the psych and nut. appt. I was so excited when the nurse called me today! I just knew she was calling to make my "decision" appointment.

And then.....

She told me they have located a mass "on or near" my liver. She said that they are scheduling a CT scan and MRI and I need to come and have my creotine levels checked as well.

Now she told me not to panic, but ummmm... I kinda am!

Anyone else experience anything like this?

Hi Bekah,

I don't have experience with this, but I'd ask to speak with your Dr so that they can give you a better idea of what they are looking for and what the implications are.

Wishing you all the best,

Bekah,

I actually have a co worker who went thru this same thing. I can't remember why they were looking at her liver but they found a "spot" or mass on her liver. They looked at it again in like 1 month and then at 6 months. The spot or mass never got bigger. They think it was some fluke and something she may have been born with. She gets it checked out once a year.

Don't worry. It could be nothing. That is why they are saying don't panic.

Thank you both for your posts. I am going to have a CT scan on 1/20/09. This is also my Decision appointment. I am thinking good thoughts and hoping for the best!
