Jen's second opinion

Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a busy week.  Last Tuesday, we went to Cedars Sinai for a follow up visit.  As mentioned earlier, we have been going there periodically for a second opinion.  The doctor at Cedars, pretty much agreed with our doctor at UCLA.  There is nothing further to do at the moment.  He is also not sure about the increase in size on the non contrast portion of the MRI.  He indicated that since he didn't see pressure being exerted against the non affected areas of the brain there is a good chance that it is not swelling.  He concurred that this could be lingering effects of the radiation.  There is no way to be sure and this radiation effect can last for up to 6 months following radiation.  We completed radiation 2 months ago.  I have also included pictures of 2 slices of Jen's latest MRI.  These are taken from the scan with contrast.
