@carver1164 It can certainly get frustrating. I'm in the same boat as far as tests and interpretations. I suspect these healthcare professionals are simply seeing your results differently and therefore interpret in a different way. Every CT, PET, MRI I've had has been reviewed, analyzed, and then summarized by a different Radiologist, Surgical Oncologist, etc. In the summaries they point out different things in those scans. Tumor sizes change of course, but I have a 18mm kidney stone that's mentioned sometimes. Possibility of fatty liver disease mentioned once. Spinal column wear and tear mentioned once. I've had 10 scans at least so you get the idea. Your condition isn't coming and going, it's the interpretation that changes.

Now as far as when to do surgery, I would not suggest being in a hurry to do something. There are always risks and possibilities that you might not be aware of. Good luck to you.
