Bernie,
I just wanted you to know I’m thinking of you and hope the appointment you had today with your cat, went well. 🙏🤗-
How thoughtful of you, Suzanne. Bernie, please let us know what you find out. 💕Toni -
Hi there, I took Annie for her visit today. They did some blood tests and a more localized ultrasound to get a better look at the liver mass. They found that the mass had multiple small cysts and that the aspirate was a clear fluid which is consistent with a benign biliary cystadenoma and that it was an incidental finding and not believed to be the cause of the chronic diarrhea. They also said these kinds of masses can grow slowly over time and may eventually cause clinical signs like vomiting or loss of appetite by compressing the adjacent structures like the stomach & gallbladder. If it were to grow significantly larger, they might consider surgical removal at some point in the future, but they don’t believe that the liver mass itself has anything to do with the chronic diarrhea so basically I’m waiting on the results from the bloodwork and a GI panel for what the next steps would be. Depending on what they find they mentioned that options might include endoscopic or surgical intestinal biopsies, or possibly removal of the mass to prevent further complications. I’ll let you know what they find after I get the results back.

Thanks Suzanne, I appreciate it.

Will continue to pray for you and Annie. I guess on the positive side at least you know doesn’t have liver cancer.

Berni, I am so happy to hear that Annie is okay and that there is no cancer. Hope they find out what is causing the diarrhea. -
My, Annie is a complicated little girl, isn’t she? If I’m understanding this correctly, if the blood work shows the cause of the diarrhea and it can be treated with antibiotics or some medicine, then we monitor the liver mass. That would be a good outcome. It’s so hard to not know what’s going on, then finding out and determinig what’s best for her. You are a wonderful mother, Berni. Thank you for keeping us posted and please update us. {{HUGS to you, Annie and Andy}}. Toni
