What Causes Fatty Liver In An Ovarian Cancer Survivor?

I am a 2-time ovarian cancer survivor. the second occurence had metastisized to my liver necessitating a liver resection. The missing half grew back. I recently had a sonogram and the dr. reading it said I had fatty liver but I haven t drunk since college (I m 69). My GP is aware but hasn t prescribed any treatment. Am I right to be concerned? Thanks
