I was diagnosed with a cyst on my liver as well. Went back 6 months later and it was the same size so they are not concerned. They do have a test that they also do for cancer markers or tumor markers (can't remember which) but mine have been in the normal range. They still need to check the cyst regularly. Good Luck to both of you
The anemia alone would be good reason for your mom not to be feeling good. The cyst on the liver might not be anything. So many people are so surprised to find out that they have cysts on organs when they get a scan, but of course it is still something that needs to be checked out, but many times it is nothing. I posted a site above and its Dr. Melissa Palmers website, she is a liver specialist. There is a section where patients have asked questions and she answers them....If you read thru the questions you may find some info or get her opinion on cysts etc. I had read through the site. Its very helpful, but my memory is not that great right now to tell you if she covered the subject of cysts and fatty liver - but maybe check it out when you find time. I wish you and your mom the best.
