I had rfa on Oct 8. I had a ctscan 3 weeks later that said the tumor was dead. I just had a pet scan done last week. The liver still showed a hot spot, but the doc said he thinks that the area still has some swelling in it. I had no new spots so am NED! The doc I used for the procedure required you to have 3 or less lessions of 3cm or less in size. You could have no mets anywhere else. Each doc has slightly different criteria for the surgery. So check out several different ones if you get a no from the first one.
Good luck.
