Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I do NOT trust my GI, he recently sent me a letter saying there was NO mass.. You would trust a doctor that lies to you? If I could change doctors, I would, but I am stuck.. I will feel better if they watch it for a bit.. I see him again on the 6th..

They said they couldn't biopsy the mass unless, or until it was actually removed..

Much to my happy surprise it didn't seem nearly as awful as it might have been.. Grade1, Stage 1, inflamation predominately involving the portal areas with minimal spillage into the lobules, no bridging, minimal fatty change, no cirrhosis!. I hope that buys me some time. I want to treat, but as I'm a Geneotype 1, I had hoped they might have something with a bit shorter treatment sometime soon.. They are still calling the mass (my GI doctor recently said in a letter I didn't even have a mass) a "probable" hemangioma. I see him again on the 6th. (Second visit since September).. The Radiologist said the mass should be re-checked the end of February due to the Hep C and my family history, we'll see... It grew some from Novermber to December, he said if it grows again it needs to come out and then be biopsied.. Sheena Looking for earth-friendly autos?
