CT scan scare

[Jami115]

Hi
I recently had a CT scan w/ contrast to determine if I had appendicitis which in fact I did.  I had surgery just a few days ago.  When the surgeon came to discharge me he also noted a "shadow" on my liver when reviewing the CT scan.  For about a month now I have been having pain under my rib cage which I thought was my liver but wasn't sure.   The surgeon wants me to go for a follow-up MRI.  Should I be very worried.

I would try not to worry at this time. He is just checking to make sure all is well. If you are having pain in that area, it is a good idea to find out just what is causing it.

do what the Doctor says .If you dont like the answer get another Doctor to check you out.U.C.L.A. and U.S.C. Are free Just Tell them Your Homeless.

It never pays to worry, that doesn't solve anything, try to stay positive, and tak a wait and see approach.  It appears that your Dr is checking it out and you are in good hands.

I wouldnt worry too much cause then you would be just stessed out. But you would want that check.
