THE TUMORS ARE ON THE LIVER. THE CELLS MAY BE COMING FROM THE STOMACH. MY STOMACH WAS CHECKED WITH AN ENDOSCOPY AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEMS. I DO NOT KNOW IF I HAVE CANCER OR NOT.
THE DOCTOR SAID THERE IS NO INDICATION OF CANCER BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY CELLS IN THE TUMOR ON THE LIVER. COULD THIS TURN INTO CANCER???
I MAY HAVE SPINDLE CELLS. ARE THEY SERIOUS.
SO WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT MOVE BECAUSE I AM NOT SCHEDULED UNTIL NOVEMBER. DO YOU BELIEVE ITS TOO LONG FOR ME TO WAIT

Brief Answer:
If its benign, it can wait.
Detailed Answer:
Can you please attach the pathologist report from the biopsy (if you have had one). Please also attach CT and/or MRI report if its possible.
If its not a cancer, it can wait. If its malignant tumor, the source of it should be found (from the description, it does not seem to be primary liver cancer).
If its benign, it can wait.
