Nodules? Getting liver CT what should I ask Doctor?

3 years ago while having a CT scan for a lung condition, a fatty liver was noticed. My doctor said those are normal not to worry. The follow up CT scan also showed fatty liver. Fast forward to this week new pulmonologist, new CT scan. Internist has ordered a liver CT because of “liver nodules”. I have now read FLF and understand the first doctor was misguided. I have stopped eating sugar, am exercising more, in other words taking it seriously.

What should I ask my new internist so I take the right path. Do not want to pretend it’s “normal” any longer.

I have learned a lot reading other people’s questions and the replies. Thank you

I have around 6 nodules on my liver which is cirrhosis and I do have NASH. The biggest concern with nodules they can turn into tumors and cancer. Ask them to please keep track of them. Mine have stayed stable for years, but that doesn't mean yours will. Let's hope the do. I have MRI's yearly to watch mine. This is different then just having fatty liver or NASH.
