When I had my original diagnosis the Pet scan showed two liver lesions..one was 1.5cm, the other 7mm. They did not pick up the die for cancer. My Oncologist mentioned that he had compared the scan to another scan I had done 3 years earlier and the lesions weren't there 3 years prior. He said they were not in a spot that they could biopsy and we would just have to watch them. After 6 weeks of chemo, we did another scan..they had shrunk in half....conclusions were that they were Cancer. I have been told that non cancerous tissues do not shrink with chemotherapy...I emailed John Hopkins University about this and they said the same thing. A lot of this is having to wait and see. Your is so small it would seem almost impossible to know for sure, if they can't biopsy it. I would definately keep track of it and if it starts growing then take further steps. ...sherryg683
