About how big does it look? Where is it? I've attached a few more scans. Do there seem to be metastases?
Brief Answer:
It could be in early stage
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It is not very big. I have seen the other scans.
At present moment there is no metastases.
It could be in early stage and if treated properly with surgery then it can be cured.
