    They wouldn't know. it is very individual. Have you thought about a T cell trail? I know MD Anderson has it.

    No. Hoping this works. They

    No. Hoping this works. They shrunk a lot the first 4 infusions so hoping it starts working like that again before next scan.

    myAZmountain is correct.  All

    myAZmountain is correct.  All scanning technolgies utilize sampling slices when taking a image of your body.  The slices are combined into a single picture when viewed.  Because of this sampling, there is a variability in accurate measurements at the mm level.  If I recall correctly, CT scans have a 2mm variation.  In addition as myAZmountain mentioned, the way you lay on the table also affects the sizing of a feature of an organ from one scan session to another.

    I have two established hemangiomas in my liver since diagnosis.  I can see going through past scan reports that the measurements of these lesions can vary by a couple to a few mm and will often vary depending on which Radiologist is reading my scans.

    Thank you! Yes I am hoping it

    Thank you! Yes I am hoping it was an error and that my tumors are shrinking.
