My dm has a mass on her liver and we don’t know what it is yet. I’m panicking and trying to stay strong for her.
she had kidney cancer two years ago. She finished treatment and had 2 years of clear scans.
Her last scan in august showed a liver mass. She had unrelated septicaemia over the summer. Her diagnosis has been slow as she couldn’t have an mri contrast due to poor kidney function due to -effects of the septicaemia She had a regular mri.
it hasn’t grown since august. She isn’t yellow, obviously unwell or losing weight. She says she isn’t in pain or experiencing symptoms. The septicaemia knocked her for 6, but she seems to have recovered well.
she had a biopsy a couple weeks back and is awaiting results monday.
From the ultra sound the consultant said it didn’t look typical of a secondary cancer from the kidney- but couldn’t be certain. Could be a new primary. Could be soemthing else.
I’m terrified it’s going to be bad news.
I know random mumsnetters can’t tell me what is going to happen or what it is…but does anyone have experience of a liver mass? Realistically could it not be cancer?
I lost my dad after a long illness and am terrified to lose her too. I love her so much and need her here.
I guess I just wanted to put that all down on paper ( internet) and see if it might stop going round in my head for ten minutes.
p.s. if this is outing and you recognise me, pretend you don’t.
