that the tech would be SO bold as to say ANYthing to you about your scan. That is a huge NO NO. They are supposed to be completely poker faced with each patient. After the radiologist reports the findings to the docs, then you are supposed to be notified of the final results this way. Or, your nurse case manager may call if it is good news and you do not need a visit to the onc.

To your question - yes, liver mets can reduce in size and disappear. Happened for me and they have not come back now in close to 3 years. My med onc would pull my scans up on the computer and let me see comparisons while we discussed how treatment was working.

Praying for good news!
