Do I have to worry?

Have had chronic headaches for years and taken Tylenol a lot.  Doc saw something on my liver thru a CAT scan. Now he wants me to have a sonogram.  He says he is looking for liver lesions.  What are my chances here.  I'm 65, still work, a little overweight, very fair skin (always have been), woman, take estrogen for menopause treatment (have for 10 years), had a partial gastrectomy cause of stomach ulcers cause by ibuprofen so I switched to Tylenol. I did have bleeding stomach ulcers at one time and always get endoscopy's and colonoscopies but so far so good.

I'm in agreement with Lynn.  Would not think liver lesions would be associated with Tylenol unless cirrhosis has occurred from over use.
We will be happy to put the pieces together for you should you relay
the diagnosis.
My best to you

Really there is no way to know but it sounds like your doctor is working to find out what is going on.

I am sorry you are having these concerns right now but you will have to wait for your test results.

I hope you have the best news and that your liver is just fine. If you have questions about your test results we maybe able to help you understand them better.

Good luck
