Joy, I know it's hard not to be bummed but really try to just relax and wait to see what the PET shows. It may well be nothing, so keep in mind "innocent until proven guilty", eh?!

Joy,

Since everything else seems to be fine let's assume that the PET/CT will also show that there is nothing goning on. Prayers coming your way.

Question
Hi Joy,

We all hope this is just another benign scare. Relatively speaking, livers have such limited methods of detection so there are bound to be more scares with them. Did you get any specific description of the spots as to size or shape, or where they are?

MUCH love,

A.A.
