I too had a similar situation. CT/PET showed 2 lung mets...after the second round of chemo, scans showed the spots gone. I finished 6 rounds of chemo. My only question is that my spots were too small to biopsy, so we never knew FOR SURE if they were indeed cancer, or a false positive. I had so many lymph nodes positive that my oncologist leaned towards it being in my lungs. Was your liver ever confirmed by a biopsy, I know you said CT scan..just wondering. sherry
