      Happy Holidays All-

      Just wondering if anyone out there has ever experienced having a CT Scan come back and show a "spot" on the liver that ended up being nothing. I had Chest/Neck CT Scan in Nov which was clear. MRI of brain…clear. CT Scan of abdomen came back with this "spot" which was 1.5cm. My oncologist felt confident it is nothing (hemangatoma or some type of blood build up) but given the evasiveness of melanoma he wants to be sure. I had MRI yesterday as he felt this was least invasive test to determine. I'm nervous as hell….I was diagnosed in April and it has been a roller coaster to say the least.I make my side hurt just thinking about it!!!  Many of you have been a wealth of information and support.

          Josh,

          I had a friend who had a spot that showed up on CT and they biopsied it and it was benign.  Hope this helps.  I think his was "fatty liver". 

          Hope this turns out to be nothing.

                I have 2 spots on my liver that have remained unchanged on CT scans one 1.5cm and the other .7cm.  So they are obviously not MEL but cysts.  Sometimes these scans just show too much!  Hope that's your case.

                 

                Good Luck
