A member asked:

Is there a connection between getting a severe pain where the liver is due to a benign liver tumor & being upset? what should be done about it?

Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Being upset is bad: Being upset can cause all sorts of physical experiences. That's not surprising - these are mental processes. Being upset won't make the tumor worse, but over time chronic upset can do some physical damage from stress hormones. Consider supportive therapy and/or CBT to manage all this. Best!
