liver lesions

10 months ago, I had a kidney stone, so they did a cat scan which revealed liver masses.  I subsequently had an ultrasound and a contrast cat scan.  The radiologist decided these 2 lesions were benign.  I then had a follow up ultrasound at 4,8, and 10 months with no change in the lesions.  Now, my new doctor is sending me for an MRI.  My liver enzymes are normal (even on the low side of normal), and all my blood work is normal.  The two masses measure approximately 3 cm and 4 cm, with no change in the last ten months.  My problem is that I am scared that these possibly could be cancer even though I have no symptoms.  I do not have cirrhosis or hepatitis.  I have been to the dermatologist, eye doctor, and gynecologist in the past 10 months and have been given a clean bill of health.  What do you think?  Do these sound benign to you?
