Thanks to all that have replied. I suppose a PET scan would get to the bottom of this quickly.
I will have a blood draw tomorrow for Signatera CT DNA testing.
@marciak9-which gene mutation so you have? Is the therapy you are on a clinical trial or FDA approved drug?

I have the gene mutations KRAS and G12C. The drug I’m on is FDA approved. It’s been available since 2021. It was initially developed for lung cancer but they found it works on pancan with certain mutations. I’ll keep taking it until it doesn’t work anymore. The only side affect so fast is back pain. I take a lot of oxy for that.

Also, when I thought I might have a cancerous nodule in my right lung, I asked if SBRT (MRIdean), could be done on lungs (at that time my nodule was just under 1cm), and was told yes. I did end up getting it on my liver lesion. I think it worked (my last CA19/9 was 16), but won’t know for sure if it was destroyed until my meeting in early December with radiologist at city of Hope, Irvine. They are plenty of facilities on East Coast who do this procedure. I had almost no side effects after my 3 sessions, just done nausea and tiredness (but dr Lee insisted I stay on chemo during the 3 sessions so who knows if side effects were from chemo or SBRT.
