    Rob, There is a real good chance that it is nothing to be concerned about. My CT scan showed a 4 mm cyst in the liv, which turned out to be nothing to worry about. However, its good the at your doctor is thorough.

    Regards,

    Peter

    Robm,
    Thats why you need the best pathologists there is. Joe recently had something he was concerned about on his lung I think, turned out to be a shadow…do the second opinion,,,you’ll never be sorry, and you owe it to yourself. Ginger

    Hi Rob,
    My dad was treated for prostate cancer about 7 years ago, and on a follow up scan also showed up some spots on the liver. They turned out to be nothing serious and he·s been fine since.

    thanks ginger — sent off records to uw today (i hope anyway) see dr #2 monday -nodes in throat so tiny that they are considered non worrisome — i was just (once again) surprised at that this new problem — as i said earlier nothing else lit up — and i was wondering if this had happened to anyone else ?

    thanks so much again ginger —- rob

    Robm , some spots end up being nothing, a biopsy will tell, what about your bladder, and the second opinion any news there,,I guess he was wrong about the trach area being mets, right? Ginger
