What Could The Liver Cysts Found In The Last CT Scan Be?
Hello there. I had a radical orchidectomy in 2005, followed up by single cycle adjuvant carboplatin chemo. Blood levels have been fine since. I just had my last CT scan, all fine other than possible cysts on liver so I need to get another scan. Initial panic about metastases but realise that this is unlikely and that liver cysts are pretty commonly found when scanning for other things. Realise that nothing certain until I get my scan, but could do with some rational calming words in the meantime!

Hello! Good Day! I've read your concerns and understand your panic. Metastasis in the liver are mostly solid tumors. Cysts on the other hand contains fluids -- commonly bile or water, hence less likely to be a metastasis from your previous cancer. So don't worry for now, let us wait for your scan.
