Why would radiologist refer me to gastroenterologist?

Hi i am really worried now I mentioned I had a mri scan and was diagnosed with a fatty liver. And they had found a non cancerous lump. The mri team rang my doctors to say the radiologist has cancelled my scan and thinks I need further examination and thinks I need reffering to a gastroenterologist do I need to be worried why I a radiologist would recommend I need further examination 

  • Unfortunately I can't answer this question, but our cancer nurses may be able to give some insight so do give them a call if you'd like to talk things through with them. They're available Monday - Friday, 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    Do be sure to have a chat with your doctor again as well as they are in the best position to tell you more, having spoken directly with the radiologist that made this request.

    I hope you get some answers soon Gemma and wish you all the best when you see the gastroenterologist.

    All the best,
