I don't know if this is your first MRI, but more will show up in the liver with an MRI than a CT scan. Also the liver loves to throw up weird little things that are non-cancerous. So don't freak out about this. If it turns out that you do indeed have small active mets in your liver, they can be treated in multiple ways without performing surgery on your rectum.
