Hemangiomas on liver and gallbladder

by Ter1964, Sep 25, 2009 09:45PM

Tags: liver, hemangioma, gallbladder, surgery

I was diagnosed with 2 liver hemangiomas one measuring 11 X 7.5 CM and the other 3 CM in diameter I also have various stones in my gallbladder measuring up to 2cm in diameter. The right side of my stomach hurts constantly below my ribs and it is swollen. I cannot bear any pressure on my stomach which forces me to wear dresses or oversized pants in order to reduce the pain. I went for an MRI two weeks ago and am still waiting for the results. My doctor insists I should have my gallbladder removed but because of the size of my hemangiomas I fear surgery. I`m not sure what to do next...

This is a decision that only you can make. I'm not in your position, so it's difficult to give you a recommendation. I think i would have the surgery, but thats just me. Try doing some searching on the internet for an answer. Maybe someone else on this forum can give their input.

I wish you the best!

Bob
