Hi All,
Still not sure what's going on. The tumor committee (includes a liver
specialist) has decided that the "ill defined" thingie in my liver is
probably benign. It would be major surgery to biopsy it and at this time it
is not recommended (I am 75).
Anyone think a bad fall - landing on my stomach could bruise the liver?
Bone scan still shows only one spot on the iliac bone.

Sounds like one of those "wait and see" situations.
Let's hope it is either benign or so slow growing as not to be relevant.

I don't know about bruising, I suppose it's possible that they are
seeing some kind of scar tissue. Or just some sort of lump or bump that
you wouldn't think twice about if it was on your skin. They happen
inside too.
