Oh I am so happy for you that your scans are clear - it must be such a relief. I can’t offer any advice on scans because i have not had any even though I would like one.
Its such a shame that we come to expect bad news all the time that when we actually receive some positive news we just can’t accept it and spend our time looking to find negative things. You have had some good news and we have to trust our doctors as there is not much else we can do really - Melx

Glad to herar your scans were all clear. I dont know how they can tell the difference with cysts but the told me at the very beginning I had a small cyst on my left kidney. They must have a way of distinguishing things.
Really pleased to hear your scans are clear. Re the cyst on your liver - I have one too that was found as dx and I was told they are very common. About 10% of the population has them, and would never know if we hadn’t needed scans - ie they will never present a problem. I asked my onc how they can be sure it is a cyst and not a tumour, and she told me they are easy to distinguish, and I can be very confident in the diagnosis. It may well have been there on your earlier scan but they didn’t tell you - it is certainly worth checking.
