[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are called incidentalomas- random things in your body that just exist and you’d never know about except for scans to look for other things. The stress they cause and then the testing, etc. are a big reason why doctors won’t just give diagnostic MRI or scans routinely to find stuff. It’s probably nothing. It could be something. I hope it’s not since it’s on the pleura. [/quote]

Yes I have a nodule on my liver, probably a hemangioma. Now maybe I need an MRI? Oh dear. [/quote]

I have these also and had ultrasounds to check for stability (it was stable) then they said only 100% proof is MRI but that was years ago. They essentially have proof from the ultrasound it's just that ultrasounds aren't diagnostic really.
I actually did not get the MRI because the only reason you have mass on liver is liver cancer (almost impossible unless older man or hepatitis) or is stage 4. I have had colonoscopy, mammo, lung ct and abdominal and pelvic ultrasound so i figured - if there's no cancer there it can't be stage 4. you could also just get the mri but thought my thinking might be helpful.
