marym Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks for all your responses. The doctor called this morning an said the tumor board believes the lesion showing on my MRI is scar tissue. Instead of stereotactic surgery, I will be having a brain pet scan in 2 weeks. If it shows as cold, they'll just leave it and continue MRI's every 3 months. I'm hoping!

Don M Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Sounds good. I did not know there was a PET scan for the brain. I learned something today. I hope the PET shows a cold spot. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Don, They have PET/Ct Scan for the brain. They give you the sugar glucose injection, just like with the whole body PET scan. Have had two of the PET/CT scans of the brain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
