My liver met was 1.4 cm and only the very center lit up. If it shrunk, it's cancer. Your best bet for a cure is surgery before it is larger than 3 cm.
I have 3 lung thingys mm's that have been there since my very first CT scan before my original colon resection. They have never changed in any way.
I was told by doctors at several major hospitals through my buddy/ onc from Australia to refuse a liver biopsy. The needle can spread cancer if it is cancerous. Seeding is the term and it can spread cancer cells into areas that cannot be treated in the normal ways.
I refused the needle biopsy and went right to hepatic resection 5 years ago April 11th with no follow up chemo. That made me Stage IVa IVa because it was more than 2 years post dx when my met appeared.
I just had my liver/ abominal pelvic MRI / MRU on Monday and all was clear.
