Hi,
I have read your query, nodules in the liver can be benign or it can be malignant or metastatic. Generally, the nodules which are less than 1 cm are benign. We need little more info on what are you describing as a spot in your lung did they said its a mass? or a nodule? I totally understand the confusion you're going through for now you have to rule out:
1) Possible liver nodule.
2) Possible metastasis in case of a metastatic nodule.
An oncologist will help you to clear this out based on your report, past history and present as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
