Liver Lesions

During scans of the lungs for pneumonia for which I was in the hospital from Monday- Friday,my PCP mentioned at my follow up appointment that they had seen lesions on my liver.She said she was hoping it was just blood vessels but looked at my chest Ct scan in 2012 and it was clear on my liver.Now we have to wait until the pneumonia is cleared up before we can start scanning the liver.Any ideas what it could be?I have a history of Leukemia.
Thank you,
Deb

I too share a deep fatigue, need a nap everyday plus sleeping up to 12 hrs each night. Our bodies are extremely stressed and that saps our energy levels. You especially given the cancer and chemo. I hope things workout well for you with your cancer issues and that the liver anomaly is just a benign lesion.

One thing to keep.in mind about incidentally found liver lesions is that they are benign the vast majority of the time, if you don't have chronic liver disease with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. And it sounds like your doctor is intending to do a followup imaging test as soon as your more stable which is the right thing to do. They will probably use a contrast-enhanced MRI to help add characterise data to the CT data they already have. Then they will very likely have all they they need to finally determine what you have going on. Let's hope nothing at all, which is likely the case. Take care.
