In December I had an abdominal MRI that revealed a 5 mm thing in my liver. The radiologist considered it a cyst, but from what I've been told, at that size it's really hard to classify. Looking at my old CT scans it had appeared in the last 4-6 months.
Last week I had a PET/CT scan. The radiologist in this case wrote something to the effect that it is not significant uptake at the site of the liver thingy. Looking at the scans myself, I have to say that the spot of the liver thingy is the brightest spot in my liver, going across multiple slices, and in all the scan directions.
So if the scan showed no heightened intensity at the liver thingy, that would be great! If it showed decisively higher intensity, that would be second best IMO, because then we could talk about treating it. But instead I've got this result where I feel pretty sure it's malignant, but is just too small to show enough intensity on the scan, and we have to wait, and PET scans are not so easy to get.
