My Oncologist doesn't do the blood chemistry tests, he doesn't believe they are as accurate as scans. My question is how can they tell by doing another scan if it is cancer or cysts. I thought a biopsy needed to be done to be sure. On my liver mets, even the Pet scan didn't show it was cancer...it didn't pick up the dye. When they started shrinking with chemo is when they decided it had to be cancer. I still have hopes that maybe it isn't or wasn't but I've had too many reliable doctors tell me if it's affected by chemo, it's cancerous...sherryg683
