a year ago i began to become ill with rapid weight loss, nausea, hypoglycemia, pain in upper right back, shortness of breath. on new years eve, my family doctor called me at home to say catscan had showed a giant liver mass which was questionable hemangioma or fibromedullar carcinoma..had an mri which was also unable to exclude the carcinoma due to density of mass. i then had a red blood cell study scan in which it was decided it was a hemangioma..it can not be biopsied. i saw a liver surgeon who stated that it was uncertain as to whether or not this hemangioma was the cause of my symptoms and it would be monitored. the hemangioma measures 10.8 x 10.4 x 7.5 cm. it is located centrally, internally within my liver. the scans demonstrated that my right lung was compressed midway and lower lobe of left lung was also compressed. the advise i recieved was no trauma to my body at all. " dont fall'' even on days i feel ok, the activities i enjoy doing are limited. since consult i have noticed a pertrusion below right rib area half way to navel area. i can not take any pain medications because i vomit them within 20 min. i do not know if hemangiomas affect metabolization of drugs or not. i feel alone and concerned about the state of my physical health at this time
