Hi all,
To say I am scared would be an understatement.
After having undergone surgery and 4 cycles of CAPOX I had a CT scan done in mid november 2020, in this scan they found a lesion in the liver which doctors thought was an hemangioma because of the way it showed up in the CT.
When they checked the pre-surgery CT scan done 6 months earlier (in June 2020) they found the lesion was already there, but for some reason the radiologist had not included it in the report. When they compared both CT scans the lesion was "unchanged" (neither larger nor smaller, even after CAPOX)
So the doctor ordered a liver RMI but which comes back with the following:
"In the perifery of segment VIII a focal lesion of 6mm with mildly irregular morphology, which is slightly hyperdense in T2 and isodense in T1 with no evidence of clear restriction to difusion. In the dynamic analysis there is highlighting in arterial phase and homogeneity in the rest of dynamic phases. Nonspecific characteristics, with no typical hemangioma behaviour, given the clinical context metastasis cannot be ruled out. PET-TC is advised."
I am quite concerned, I know the wording is ambiguous and they say the lesion is "non-specific"... they also make it clear it does not look like an hemangioma.
Do you think the fact that the lesion did not change in 6 months is relevant?
Thank you, BR
