49 year old woman, very worried as a 6cm lesion has been found on liver from ultrasound last week, was told that is was likely to be a focal Nodula hyperplasia, now waiting for urgent referral.
No other symptoms other than raised GGT, and slightly raised bilirubin, never drink alcohol. initial liver function blood test was for isotretinoin treatment for ongoing acne.
GP was reluctant to send me for initial ultrasound, said I was just an abnormally with raised Ggt !
