Hi All,
I had my curative colorectal resection, liver tumour resection with adjuvant therapy in 2020 and all my surveillance scans were normal from last year but as last week was my third scan which shows normality in all the areas of treatment but CT picked up a 1.5 cm nodule in peritoneal cavity 1 cm below my belly button while my CEA tumour marker is very normal 0.56 I'm bit scared and my surgeon recommended PET scan. Has anyone faced similar kind of problem.
My surgeon say PET may not pick up activity or it may pick one nodule or it may pick one nodule and identify if any areas.
have anyone faced similar problem - please let me know I'm bit terrified to go down that route again as me and my family were returning from big trauma experienced in 2020 to normality.
please let me know ur opinion
Hi Naz1977 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
We all know how worrying it is when something new needs investigating and I hope that it turns out to be nothing that needs further treatment.
The online community is divided up into different support groups and as I'm not sure from your post whether it was colorectal or liver cancer that you have been treated for I'm going to provide links to both the colorectal cancer group and liver cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others with the same type of cancer.
Clicking on whichever is the right link will take you to the group where you can join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and proposed treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help

Hi Naz1977
Thanks for letting me know.
The colorectal cancer group would still be a good one for you to join and this is the link to the secondary liver cancer group in case you want to join that as well.
