Hi again Eve,
I think you should go ahead and talk to a surgeon ASAP. This clearly is causing you a great deal of anxiety. I was told the exact same thing when nodules 4 & 5mm showed up on my scans. I waited 8 months all told until they were 1cm in size and lit up on a PET scan.
As someone said the other day to you, I think 6mm is the smallest size that can really be resected. You have two choices, you can continue chemo, see if it goes away, or go ahead and have it taken out. As I told you before, surgery is generally considered the best chance for a cure.
The other procedures you have been checking into RFA, etc. are normally done if some reason you cannot have normal surgery.
I don't think it matters if you have surgery there by someone whom you feel comfortable with, or go to MD Anderson, Sloan Kettering etc.
It is very encouraging indeed to hear about your friend who is 14 years out!
Wow, that gives great hope to all of us!
