Hi there, I m 30 years old a mother to 3 children, last year after suffering for over a year with pain in my abdomin and chest area the doctors sent me for an ultrasound to check my gall bladder , the next day I was told by my doctor that I had secondary liver cancer! Was left for weeks not knowing anything,i was able to get a CT scan the following week private to be told there s no cancer but a fatty abnormal texture covering my liver, then left to get on with things and I m concerned this may affect me later on in life ? All I know is that since last year it has not changed much and was told not to worry ! Any advice would help me , thank u in advance
