You should see a liver specialist. Was the hepatitis C ever treated? If there is a liver mass, it may need to be biopsied to diagnose the cause and to determine if it is benign or malignant. Then, treatment can be offered. So, see a liver specialist. Good luck to you!

The liver mass will need dedicated imaging +/-biopsy in order to discern if cirrhotic nodule or malignant of hepatic or distant primary. Involving a liver specialist early should help.
