RLittman 4 Posted August 3, 2006 Well today I was banded and the doctor found 2 cm Adenoma tumor on my liver which he believes it benign. He says he sees this alot with ladies who have taken birth control. So now I have to go to my primary to request either an ultraound or MRI. Anyone enountered this problem?

Happy2 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Hi R Littman, A spot was found on my liver when doing the pre-opt tests and my doctor said that he was 99% sure it was benign. After several more tests his diagnosis was correct. He said that it isn't uncommon. If the doctor thinks it's nothing to worry about just have the tests and don't worry. I think you'll be okay. I think a color CAT scan was the next test and it is painless. They did a black and white but it won't show the proper results, so they redid it in color. Nothing to worry about except a hassle to have to waste time going through the tests. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy2 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Does anyone know what sliming is or slime balls? What causes them? I've heard them mentioned on this forum site. Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLittman 4 Posted August 4, 2006 Thank you Happy2. I have a friend who is an internist and said it benign from what she saw on the picture but that I should have an ultrasound or MRI just to be sure. It supposedly was caused by birth controls pills which I would hate to go off of because they control my acne. Robin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
