Totally agree with you. The reason I found this forum helpful is that every comment resonates with me. I appreciate any support but the most meaningful ones are from you, the cancer survivors.
I recently had a ct scan for side pain. The scan show a small lesion on my liver. Too small for the radiologist to determine what it is. Appreciate any comments from anyone who has been in this situation. I’m still waiting to hear from my onco. But I’m worried.

Dear @myoga :
I am so sorry for your recent unexpected CT scan! My prayers went out for you upon reading this post...
Even though I am not any medical expert, I am wondering whether you may ask your oncologist - when you see him/her today - for an MRI to further investigate the true characteristics of that lesion on your liver. In my understanding MRI is generally the superior tool. While CT scans are excellent for quick, whole-body screening, MRI offers more accuracy at detecting and identifying the exact nature of lesions smaller than 1 centimeter. It may turn out to be a benign cyst, or hemangioma.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Myoga, praying for peace of mind, hope and wisdom from above!

@myoga well, the waiting is nerve-wracking, we all know that! I'm new & just "passed" my first 6-month check up, but I was still nervous. Others here can give you more insight on their own experiences with xray spots, but the consensus seems to be that most of the time they turn out to be benign. Keep us updated & meanwhile, sending happy & positive vibes to you! ❤️
