Doctors have recently found a solid mass on my liver about the size of a golf ball (5cm in diameter).... From what I understand, tumors/cysts over 2cm are more likely to be malignant, and also there are more chances that because it is a solid mass that it could be cancerous. It is the shape of a wedge and is growing on my liver. I'm 26 years old and I'm really afraid of what's goin on, no one will give me any answers... I've had to read the CT and ultrasound reports and do my own homework on the internet. Anyone know what the chances are of it being cancer since its pretty large and solid? I would appreciate honest answers, I'm prepared to hear whatever... Thank you and God bless. XoXo

I’m sorry, but asking for random guesses will not provide you with any meaningful answers. The best information you have at this point is in those reports. After all the radiologist actually looked at it and your doctor is using them to make decisions about your care.If your doctor is not answering your questions then you need to find one that will communicate better with you. On the other hand, if he or she is not providing you with the answers you wan to hear that is another story. They are not giving you an answer, because they don’t know. Making a diagnosis is often a process and often requires the opinion of at least a few specialties.
