Ct scan/ PET scan

Hi Kim85

A few weeks after surgery I had a routine CT scan in April, followed by an MRI in June. Both showed a possible 15mm cancerous lesion in the liver. Kings liver specialist recommended A PET Scan. There was no Cancer anywhere. It had not spread. 

Cancer cells show as bright spots on a PET Scan. Apparently a PET Scan can show Cancerous matter as small as 7mm. 

I hope things go well for your Dad tomorrow. It must be such an anxious time for you all.

Best wishes

It’s a horrible process for sure ! We were always fortunate in that regard as my mum's Pet scans never revealed anything the CT scans had not already uncovered ! Hope it’s the same for your dad !

Thanks nettie. Here’s hoping for some positive news xx

Thanks Court. Your mums story gives me such hope xx

Hi . I had something show up in my liver too and it was a harmless cyst called a haemangioma. Apparently people can have these from birth and go all through life never knowing unless they have some sort of scan. I think you can also get these in the spleen but it’s good that the team are making sure that your dad has been thoroughly checked over before deciding on his treatment plan.

Take care

Thanks Karen. I’m overwhelmed by the support on this site. You guys are the best 

My dad just got a call. No cancer in liver or spleen, just benign cysts. So all we’re dealing with now is the colon tumour!! 

Oh how good is that ! Hope his surgery goes well !

You will be very relieved.

That's really cools news. So pleased for you all. 

Hope all goes well with everything else.
