Hi Sherry; and welcome! I think it sounds like you have a good doctor. Haven't heard the term "mini-mets" before, but it sounds appropriate given the tiny size of the lesions. And it does sound less scary. There's also the term "micro-mets", used to describe the probabability of cancer cells in the rest of the lymph system when one has positive lymph nodes. The treatment regimen you're on will most likely erase any stray cells floating around. I agree with A.2000 that a PET/CT is the best way to go, if you can talk your doc into it. Best wishes on your scans, and keep us posted.

<3 Lolly
