Re: Benign spots on liver/lungs on CT scan?

I've had similar things ... two nodules in one of my lungs that we
CT'd every six months for 2 years ... nothing ever changed and my
onc decided it was probably from an infection, coughing, bronchitis etc.

Same thing with my liver ... I have hemangiomas and I have lots of them. They do NOT turn into cancer .. ever ... but they've given me a big scare a few times.

For your peace of mind you might ask for follow-up scans in a few months
or a PET etc. I know it's hard to not worry.
