I am far from an expert on this but any drinking is not good for the liver. Stop drinking and take care of yourself...a

About eight years ago I also was diagnosed with a very large hemangioma of the liver. After many tests and finally determining that it was not cancer, my doctor told me I was "probably born with it". I haven't had any problems with it, but have my liver enzymes checked every year to be sure there isn't anything out of order. My doctor told me to never allow anyone to take a biopsy of my liver or I would bleed to death - grim thought . . . also, don't take any sharp jabs to the liver area or it could rupture, cause internal bleeding and ultimate death - there's that word again. Needless to say I've learned to live with it, but had to give up kick-boxing. :)

I, too, have a hemangioma of the liver. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. It causes no problems, so they have not done anything. The "cure", so to speak, would be surgery. However, the surgery is high risk, and entails having tubes which would come out of the side of the body, in order to drain the bile. Then, since this surgery is usually done through the abdomen, the recuperation time is fairly long. They do not like to do this surgery unless absolutely necessary. The liver does reginerate though, so after surgery, the liver would be fine (barring any infections, etc.).
What I do have to do is stay away from any unnecessary "rough" play. I am not allowed to play any sport which would risk my getting hit in the side. If I am in a car wreck or other accident with a blow to the side, I must see a doctor immediately, otherwise I risk bleeding to death internally (since a hemangioma is a mass of blood clots and vessles). According to my doctor, I am also not allowed to visit any third world countries. Ha! Ha! I just go in every so often for CT scans and liver profiles to make sure my hemangioma is not growing overly much. If I ever feel bloated too much in one side and have extreme pain, I must seek medical attention immediately. It hasn't happened once. There are no meds to help that I know of, and no cure to my knowledge either. I take vitamins, watch my diet, stay away from alcohol for the most part (my liver has a hard time breaking it down), and watch my health overall. That's about all you really can do, I think.
Oh, my doctor said that it was probably congenital (I was born with it). I do have small hemangiomas on my body (look for small red mole looking things that pop up as you age...not age spots though!). I found the parasite and cyst idea quite interesting, however! I want to look into that one further!
Your husband did not give this to you, in my opinion. Yes, you may drink, but watch the amount you drink. If you find that you feel overly ill the next day or so, then you drank too much! I find that when I drink too much, I get WAY more than the average hangover.

I was recently diagnosed with three Haemangioma's of the liver. Two are approx 5cm in diameter & one has grown abnormally large and is 13cm diamater. They have been growing for approximately 2 years, which would explain my ill health over that period of time. I spent 2 years visiting doctors to no avail, I even had a laperoscopy in 2001, but unfortunately my GP thought my problem was a gynae one, and didn't investigate the liver. Everything came to a head about 3 months ago when I was having severe chest pains & nausea. I gave up on the National Health Service and paid for an ultra sound privately, which showed this large mass on my liver. I was then treated as an urgent case and sent to see a consultant in Leicester, who after an MRI scan, diagnosed a giant haemangioma. In the next 4-6 weeks I am having a resection of the liver, which I can honestly say Im not looking forward to, although I am certainly looking forward to being better again. The operation is very risky, but Im a woman in my early 30's, who wants to start a family in the next year, I am very lucky to have found out about this, as Haemangioma's of the liver are very difficult to detect.

My consultant said that the nausea is likened to morning sickness (not that I have ever had any children), the haemangioma is pressing your stomach in the same way a baby presses on your stomach, causing the sick feeling. I take anti sickness tablets, which kind of sort it out. I also get chest pains & back pains, they are very sharp. I also get abdominal cramps, which can sometimes last all day, they are very worrying, the only way they ease up slightly for me is if I lie down.

I was also told by my consultant that there is no cause for Haemangioma's, they are just one of those things. You can still drink alcohol, as you don't have liver disease, but take it easy while youre in this condition.
