      Well- it's almost time.  I get my scan on Monday.  The history- my last scan in June they saw a sub cm spot on my liver.  It was too small to tell what it was ( this was through a ct scan)  my scan before that was a pet – and they didn't see the spot.

      my doc (James cancer center – osu-Columbus Ohio) was very positive saying she is fairly certain it is just a cyst – but to rescan just to check.

      so now it's time for the rescan and I'm scared to death.  I'm hoping cysts would be common and this is a cyst! I know this isn't really a question- just needs to share! Feel free to let me know your thoughts! 

      Oh yeah- I'll be 2 1/2 years ned stage 3a if this scam comes cack clear!!!

                Happy Girl, my dad had a suspicious spot on liver as well. He did an MRI and it came back fine. I am sure you will get good results. Let us know!

                    I'm 3b since 2013 and most of my PETs come back with suspicious spots on my liver-the doc (mayo) has ruled everyone of them as nothing. He said he sees them all the time on the super sensitive PET scans. He said every melanoma positive PET he has called (radiologist that is) has screamed melanoma and that melanoma is unmistakable. Hope things turn out clear.
