My husband's oncologist based his analysis of the liver spot by it's reaction to chemo. If it shrunk, cancer was suspected. One spot is suspected. One spot not. Lisa
Thanks for the response, however, I've finished my chemo, so I guess that means that if my next CT Scan shows a spot that has gotten bigger, I'm in trouble....sigh.0 -

it could be fatty deposits distributed throughout the liver or a simple density thats no more than a common cyst....Don't put yourself through unnecessary trauma, instead try to beef up on information in here about the options you have if its necessary to further look into them....buzz0 -

So I was wondering.......
Does he stick a pin in patients to see if they're alive?
I was laughing, until I realized you were serious.
"Trail and error" usually isn't the modus operandi of those making
a basic diagnosis.... Especially using toxic chemicals!
The guy -is- licensed, right?
Maybe it's time to get another opinion? (I would)
Best wishes,
