Suggest Treatment For Cyst On Liver And Raised Alkaline Phosphatase Levels

My 57-year old sister just finished chemo and radiation for triple negative breast cancer. Her blood work showed alkaline phosphatase level is still high. She had a liver, ki dney, gallbladder and pancreas ultrasound. It showed a 3.4 cm cyst on her liver. Will have MRI tomorrow. I was diagnosed with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis 3 years ago and take Ursodiol -last liver ultrasound was normal. Our dad had colon and kidney cancer. How do I sort this out?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your sister has triple negative breast cancer. Now she has liver cyst. It can be hemangioma, amoebic cyst, hyadatid cyst, pyogenic liver abscess or liver metastasis. She should go for MRI. If needed go for ultrasound guided FNAC. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then she should take treatment according to diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
