When I was first diagnosed I had two small liver spots. They did not light up on the PET scan but my Oncologist said that we needed to watch them. 2-1/2 years later, they are still there but have been determined to be hymangiomas. I've had ultra sound done and many pet scans. I can understand your being concerned that they weren't there previuosly but I've had many things show up on scans that weren't there the next time. None have lit up the PET scan but have shown on the CT scans. I had something in my ovaries once , but it was gone the next scan. Try to remain calm , I know that's easier said than done..sherryg683
