my mom had a blood test done a few months back and the results showed something wrong with her liver. my mom has had arthritis since her 20s and has had numerous joint replacement surgeries. she is on steady pain medication and so they thought it was all the medication taking its toll.
fast forward. she was having an attack that sounded like it might be her gall bladder and so she went in to have an ultrasound. while they did in fact find gall stones they also found a lesion on her liver.
she is going back in tomorrow for a more thorough cat scan on her liver and i am worried. most of the research i have done shows that benign lesions on the liver are common and usually nothing to worry about, however, these people also had normal blood tests.
my question is if anyone out there with medical knowledge can let me know if her blood test showed damage to her liver does this increase the chances that it is cancerous?
i know there is no way for anyone to tell me "your mom is fine" or "your mom has liver cancer"
but any personal stories or medical advice would be appriciated.
i am just scared. my mom's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer at the same age my mom is now. she lost her battle at 59. i have also lost both of my dad's parents to cancer so i do not take it lightly.
i'm not ready to even think about losing my mom.
