CT scan showed spot on liver

[Kathy911]

I have been having stomach problems for several months now.  In the process of elimination, I had an ultrasound which showed a "shadow" on my liver.  A subsequent CT scan w/contrast showed "a lesion or calcificiation and/or fatty tissue" on the liver.  The spot is 7cm in size.  I am freaked out.  I have a liver biopsy scheduled in 5 days.  I am an overthinker and it is making me crazy.  I have also been diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus.  Have been having hot flashes 2-3 times in the last week.  Nausea also.  Should I be worried?  Or is it just a hemangioma or something benign?  Help! =]


This discussion is related to Liver lesion: hemangioma vs. malignancy?.

I recently had a CT scan which found a 1.x cm lesion on my liver too.  2 years ago, a month after giving birth to my 2nd child, I had excruciating back burning pain and was eventually diagnosed with Gallbladder... had my gall bladder removed a month later.  However, the CT scan done in after the operation showed my liver was cleared then.
I have been having pain on my right abdoment which the doctor said could be henia or knot pain due to 3 operations done on my abdoment (2 for c-section & another for fibroid).  I am also still having some small fibroids.  So many test & scan done due to my abdoment & piles.  And now this !!
Last week I was so freaked out after reading all about liver cancer in the net.  How a patient can only survive from 1-3 yrs only !!  I have a 6 yrs & a 2.5 yrs old baby and definitely cant leave them at this point of time !!
However, finding this site really give me the relieve that I so needed.  My next appointment is in 2 months time, then MRI...... really hope for the best.  If its' bad news, I dont want to know........ at all !!!

Also, I have had this spot on my mid back, left side that is itching like crazy.  When I itch it, a welt forms, then goes away.  Dermotologist didn't know why...
