Please, Please can anyone help answer - Shadows?

An MRI scan has shown shadows on my brother's Liver. ........his own Dr have said "prepare for the worst" - However the radiographer at the time of the scan told him they were not able to get a very good scan as he fell asleep...
He originally was taken into hospital months ago with very severe swelling of his body, especially his legs. He had numerous tests was told it was his heart, and then they dismissed it. Told it was definitely renal, and then dismissed it. Then his liver and was told "by a liver specialist at a leading Unit (different from the hospital he was in) that he was doing fine". This has taken place in an eight-month period.
His legs have kept swelling, the hospital and own Dr said it was a reversal action due to drugs they had given him, but his own Dr decided on another MRI scan. He'd had two previous, showed nothing but the latest "shadows".
He went to the original hospital to hear the results, where he was met by the consultant and MacMillan Nurse (cancer nurse)?????
Due to the many miss-diagnosis Is this definitely Cancer or could it possible be something not so sinister???? If it is cancer what’s the likely outcome?
