    just looked it up
    I don't think this is deadly..it is a fatty liver and could be caused by diet, medications. It can be controlled with statin drugs and vitamins. It is also common if you are diabetic. They say to eat gluten free and low glycemic diet...val

    You have a fatty liver which is more common than you think. The cause is often eating too much sugar/carbohydrates & sometimes the condition is reversible if you improve your diet. Choline is a nutrient that helps flush the fat out of the liver & you should be able to find choline over the counter from a health food store.

    When the condition is brought on by drugs, it can go away when the drugs are stopped.

    So did the scan show no cancer? That would be lovely!

    looked on line for dosage
    i just looked online for dosage - it is 425-450 a day for women and 500-550 for men.

    I also have fatty liver condition, but i did not hear about choline before. My mother sent me chicory roasted root - to drink like a coffee. it does not tastes bad - i add little milk or soy milk. it has lots of good uses - cleans blood, cleans liver , regulates sugar and helps regulate ldl cholesterol , etc...
    endive is good too if you do not want to drink roasted root. chicory / endive - it is same thing.
    hugs
