I do not know: Without knowing your GM and her overall health and case history, no one can truly know her definitive Diagnosis on healthTap. The description of "metastatic Deposits" is concerning for some type of illness or possible cancer that may have spread to the liver? BUT, without a biopsy or diagnosis of what the exact issue is, no one can truly comment on what she has or how to treat it. Assure F/U!

Worrisome.: Without seeing the scan it's impossible to know for sure, but the use of the word 'metastatic' is worrisome. She needs followiup with her doctor for a definitive diagnosis ASAP. Good luck.
