I had my cat scan done Monday and the nurse called me a few minutes ago to say that a few spots were found in my lower left lung. She said the few were in millimeters. Nothing was found my colon and I am thankful to God for that. I have an appt with the dr tomorrow for blood and she scheduled me for a pet scan Monday. I just am so nervous. I'm praying it is nothing major. Have any of you had this happen to you? Please pray for me cause I know prayer is the answer. Thanks

    The PET scan will determine if they are malignant or not. Don't panic....even if they are, they are very small. My husband had a CT scan and it showed two nodules on the liver which were read as mets. But the PET scan showed no malignancy.

    Let us know how it goes and of course you are in our prayers.

    Not to worry yet. A friend of mine from chemo also had mets to the lungs and liver following colon cancer, but this round of chemo has ALL of the spots gone. She's doing fine! Let us know what the PET scan reveals!
