Re: Follow-up/monitoring found lesions on liver/spleen after CRC surgery

Is there any way to tell, for sure, if a liver lesion in a met or non cancerous spot? I’m guessing a biopsy is only way to be 100% sure? If they biopsy, what are the risks of a biopsy? CT scan found a sub centimeter liver lesion. I’m waiting on MRI date. Just wondering if the MRI doesn’t rule the le...

Re: CEA Levels

Re: I need help deciding treatment after surgery!! THIS isn't Easy!!

CharlesT I think you are smart to really consider the best option for you. Not sure if I understood your post right, many acronyms are new to me, but am I correct there is microscopic cancer in tissue? or they aren't sure if there is cancer in tissue?
