Lump On Back-may Be Liver Tumor Posted: 10-09-05 13:22pm
If anyone else has ever had this happen to
them or have heard of this please let me
know. I about a year ago had a really
bad muscle pull and had went through blood
work, x-rays and mri. I could hardly walk
but it all came back that thats all it
was, was a pulled muscles and she gave me
ibuprofen to help with the pain. I fould
out that i'm alerigic to that medican but
since then it started out in the middle of
my back to the right side slightly of my
vertebrae I had a very small lump. I
questioned the Dr. About it a couple of
times and said it was probably from my
pulled muscle. Then I noticed in about
june that it may be growing. I had a
chiropratictor appt. The next day so I
ask him if he felt as though it was
growing, he thought so as well and advised
me that I need to get if checked out right
away. I waited about a month before
going in and she (the Dr.) agreed that it
has grown. So she ordered blood work and
a ct scan to be done. As I just found out
this past thursday (10-6-05) that my ct
scan came back fine everything normal
however my blood work showed that my liver
levels were elevated and she believes I
have a tumor. She reran the blood work
and I will get those results on tues. She
informed me though that she has to refer
me to a surgan. She did say what kind of
tumor she thought it was but I don't
remember. Almost everything I read
inregards to tumors with the liver it is
cancer.Is this true? Or as other people
have told me that they have heard of other
people having tumors on there backs and it
has been cause from chemicals that was
used on farms to kill weeds and I was
raised on a farm. The Dr. Has nothing
from test results leading to this of it
being a tumor just her experainceand the
feel of it. If any one has any feed back
on this so I don't worry so much please
respond. Jdb
