Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I would think that the PET scan will help you determine whether those lymph nodes are a problem or not. Sounds like the surgery for the liver is a good thing, followed by chemo. Go for it! Sounds great! Good luck! Thanks for thinking of us.
