Nurse mentioned "in passing" I have a spot on my liver.

What does that mean?

At the time I was there for another issue - so it wasn't addressed.

I didn't ask because I AM a heavy drinker, and think she embarressed me a bit. It's something I try to hide.

So, I have a spot on my liver. Anyone know what that means, exactly?

Re: Nurse mentioned "in passing" I have a spot on my liver.

A "spot" can mean many many different things,you really DO need to ask your doc about just what this spot actually is and go from there.there is just no way we would be able to realistically give you just what it could possibly be,sorry.but let us know what you find out,K?good luck and i hope its nothing really major.if its just a 'spot" its at least small anyways,and that would be a good thing in my book.Marcia
