DH had the first CT scan after chemo, and I am a bit confused by the report.
Good news is impression is "No metastatic disease identified in the chest, abdomen and pelvis".
Question around this: "Liver: A subcapsular hypoattenuating lesion in the left lateral segment of the liver measures 0.5cm and is incompletely characterized, although most suggestive of a cyst. No suspicious lesion are identified".
1. The liver lesion was not identified in the CT report 8 months ago. Could that be possible that 5mm was too small to detect? Or the technician didn't think it was suspicious so didn't mention in the report?
2. If it is new, should I be concerned it grew to 5mm in 8 months?
3. It is described "incompletely characterized", curious how the doctor drew the conclusion that it is not suspicious.
4. We are meeting the oncologist on June 13th. Should I ask for a liver MRI?
DH was diagnosed Stage 2A, but has perineural and vascular invasion. So now I am super nervous. I know people here are not doctors, but any comment/insight is appreciated.
