Got a CT scan to find out cause of stomachache while in clinical trial. No cause found, but hemangioma of the liver revealed. The written results suggest "tagged red-blood cell nuclear test." "Doctor A" says hemangioma is common in most people. It doesn't disqualify me as a test subject for other studies. And "nuclear test" is not needed. Months later in a different facility, I was found to have an "abdominal bruit." "Doctor B" says it could be aneurysm and only if I had a CT scan can it be known if it is. I showed "Dr. B" the CT results of months back. He said that the results show nothing wrong with the aorta but the hemangioma may be fatal and that I should have had the nuclear test. The test is done. Finding: "benign." In another study, Im answering a questionaire; Do I have liver disease? I ask recruiter if benign hemangioma can be classified as liver disease? She's unsure. I ask my own doctor who says he dosnt know.
Is it "liver disease?"
